no such file to load -- bcrypt_ext (via devise)

I'm using database authentication in devise(current gem) on rails 3 and I get the following error when trying to log in with username/password.

no such file to load -- bcrypt_ext 

This error occurred while loading the following files:
   bcrypt
   bcrypt_ext

I have previously "Successfully installed bcrypt-ruby-2.1.2" gem.

Any ideas? I also tried giving bundler the git repo address and fetching the master, but it doesn't solve the issue.

I too had the same issue, this resolved it-

gem 'bcrypt', '~> 3.1.9'

Check out your Gemfile. See whether you have "bcrpyt-ruby" gem or not. If it is not there then add "bcrpyt-ruby" gem. 

gem "bcrypt-ruby", :require => "bcrypt"

I had the same problem.

add in gemfile:

gem "bcrypt-ruby", '~> 3.0.0'

try bundle install and then bundle update bcrypt-ruby

I had the same issue, i simply deleted the vendor directory and did bundle install.

Fixed the problem. Maybe theres a problem in the make where it won't overwrite.

I had this problem as well. When I installed the gem, the output told me

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
Successfully installed bcrypt-ruby-3.0.1

so I assumed that it had, in fact, built native extensions. But when I went hunting in .../gems/bcrypt-ruby-2.1.4/ext/mri I saw that it not appear to have built anything.

I manually went in and ran

cd [path to your gems folder]/gems/bcrypt-ruby-2.1.4/ext/mri
ruby extconf.rb
make
sudo make install

This did the trick for me.

Do you have these in your Gemfile?

gem "bcrypt-ruby", :require => "bcrypt"

Also -- this issue on devise might apply, check it out
