Rails 3 Devise Confirmation Routing Error

Question

I ran into a strange routing problem with Devise. Recently I added email confirmation through Devise for my Rails app and I was trying to setup the confirmation/new action so that users could have their email confirmations re-sent post-registration.

So here's my current route setup for my Devise user authentication:

devise_for :users do    
    match 'users/logout' => 'devise/sessions#destroy'
end

And after running rake routes this is what I get for the pertinent new confirmation path that I want:

new_user_confirmation GET    /users/confirmation/new(.:format)     {:action=>"new", :controller=>"devise/confirmations"}

My link to the new confirmation email action is as so:

<%= link_to "Didn't receive unlock instructions?", new_user_confirmation %>

Clicking on this link redirects me to the url /users/confirmation/new.user but I get the routing error:

Routing Error

No route matches {:controller=>"devise/tournaments", :action=>"results"}

Which is strange to me because Devise has nothing to do with my tournaments controller nor is my tournaments controller ever referenced on any devise-related functionality.

I'm using Rails 3.1 and Devise 2.1.2

The problem actually stemmed from my Application layout of all places. Thus far the only devise views I've had to deal with are the registration view and sign_up view, neither of which render the layout by default. Naturally I made the assumption that this page wouldn't either so I didn't know to keep an eye out for it.

In my application layout I had a route linking to the above :controller=>"devise/tournaments", :action=>"results" simply changing this to the named routetournament_results_path solved my problem.
