Devise error undefined method `email'

I have tried tuning my Devise views and have replaced email by username. For sure, I have adjusted initializers/devise.rb by replacing all the occurences of :email by :username. I adjusted screens and things were working fine until I tried to delete the field email from database.

After having done this, I am still able to login and create accounts as desired by using my new key (username), yet, when trying to update the user, I am getting this error message stating that email method is not defined.

I understand that I am missing a place from where to take a call to this non-existing attribute/method but, I don't know where....

Some logs:

NoMethodError in Devise::RegistrationsController#update
undefined method `email' for #<User...

Rails.root: /vagrant/src/projectX

For anyone finding this, I was trying to create a Devise user type that isn't authenticated by email and password.

If you're in the same boat, remove the following from your model: :validatable :database_authenticatable,

These two expect there to be an email and password to validate and authenticate against. Removing them ensures the checks related to either aren't used.

Just needed to adjust User model adding the following:

def email_required? false end

def email_changed? false end
