Devise Signup button not working in rails

Question

I have a rails app in which I am using devise gem for user signup and login. I followed all the steps to use devise: added following to gemfile

gem 'devise'

then

bundle install

After executing

rails g devise:install

I ran the following command

rails g devise user

After this I did

rake db:migrate

Everything goes well, devise gem got installed migration was also successful and the url

http://localhost:3000/users/sign_up

shows the signup form. But after filling the data on clicking signup button nothing is happening. No error on console. No data is being inserted to the table. Any help would be appreciable.

console log

Started GET "/users/sign_up" for 127.0.0.1 at 2015-06-06 15:04:56 +0530

User devise migration file content

def change
create_table(:users) do |t|
  ## Database authenticatable
  t.string :email,              null: false, default: ""
  t.string :encrypted_password, null: false, default: ""

  ## Recoverable
  t.string   :reset_password_token
  t.datetime :reset_password_sent_at

  ## Rememberable
  t.datetime :remember_created_at

  ## Trackable
  t.integer  :sign_in_count, default: 0, null: false
  t.datetime :current_sign_in_at
  t.datetime :last_sign_in_at
  t.string   :current_sign_in_ip
  t.string   :last_sign_in_ip

  ## Confirmable
  # t.string   :confirmation_token
  # t.datetime :confirmed_at
  # t.datetime :confirmation_sent_at
  # t.string   :unconfirmed_email # Only if using reconfirmable

  ## Lockable
  # t.integer  :failed_attempts, default: 0, null: false # Only if lock strategy is :failed_attempts
  # t.string   :unlock_token # Only if unlock strategy is :email or :both
  # t.datetime :locked_at

  t.timestamps
end

add_index :users, :email,                unique: true
add_index :users, :reset_password_token, unique: true
# add_index :users, :confirmation_token,   unique: true
# add_index :users, :unlock_token,         unique: true
 end
end

Database is mysql content of routes.rb file

devise_for :users
root 'home#index'
get 'home/index'

@ Ajeet : Your steps are correct.It should work.BTW which DB you are using. — rajat_474, Jun 06 '15 at 09:42
As above, need some more info to debug - Try some debugging in the console e.g. try to create a new user and see what errors you get. btw it should be rails g devise User with a capital — margo, Jun 06 '15 at 10:08

In your User Model add :confirmable and set your root to: in your routes.rb.

  devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
         :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable, :confirmable

Your routes.rb should look like something like this:

root to: 'home#index'

I forgot to add, please uncomment these lines:

 ## Confirmable
  # t.string   :confirmation_token
  # t.datetime :confirmed_at
  # t.datetime :confirmation_sent_at
  # t.string   :unconfirmed_email # Only if using reconfirmable

You can use Heroku to get a free SendGrid account for e-mail activation.

Bottom of your dev environment:

config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: 'localhost:3000' }
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true

You need a mailer setup. What have you done for that? – Jonathan Musso Jun 06 '15 at 10:16
for that i have put the following lines in config/environment/development.rb config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: 'localhost', port: 3000 } – Ajeet Khan Jun 06 '15 at 10:29
What's in the console log after submitting the sign up form? – tangrufus Jun 06 '15 at 10:54
@tangrufus the signup form not getting submitted. Console doesn't have any output – Ajeet Khan Jun 06 '15 at 11:19
@AjeetKhan if you do not have a mailer setup nothing will get sent. – Jonathan Musso Jun 06 '15 at 11:29
@JonathanMusso for that i have put the following lines in config/environment/development.rb config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: 'localhost', port: 3000 } – Ajeet Khan Jun 06 '15 at 11:43
@JonathanMusso Nothing – Ajeet Khan Jun 06 '15 at 11:55
@AjeetKhan This is your problem. Take a look at this thread. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6019083/setting-up-devise-sendgrid-on-heroku – Jonathan Musso Jun 06 '15 at 12:02
@JonathanMusso But I want the devise without email functionality – Ajeet Khan Jun 06 '15 at 12:05

Remove `:confirmable` & `:recoverable` from model, and remove related columns in DB if you don't want the devise email functionality – tangrufus Jun 06 '15 at 12:11
