devise_token_auth undefined method 'create_token' issue

Question

In my rails 5 application I have used "devise_token_auth" gem for developing token based API's for authentication purpose. Till date everything was working good, but suddenly I am getting below error,

NoMethodError (undefined method `create_token' for #<User:0x00000002268570>

Could not find any solution on google. Below is the full error,

I solved this error by using the Excluding Modules section of the docs.

# app/models/user.rb
class User < ActiveRecord::Base

  # notice this comes BEFORE the include statement below
  # also notice that :confirmable is not included in this block
  devise :database_authenticatable, :recoverable,
         :trackable, :validatable, :registerable,
         :omniauthable

  # note that this include statement comes AFTER the devise block above
  include DeviseTokenAuth::Concerns::User
end

Including the DeviseTokenAuth::Concerns::User was what solved the undefined method problem, but I needed this section because it required confirmation (I put the include before the devise block)
