On my Rails 3.1 project, I already use Devise.

I added devise_invitable gem in my Gemfile:

gem "devise", "~> 2.0.0"
gem 'devise_invitable', '~> 1.0.0'

Run these commands

rails generate devise_invitable:install
rails generate devise_invitable User
rake db:migrate
rails generate devise_invitable:views users

Set options in Devise.rb (Unlimited invitations

config.invitation_limit =

and start my server.

When I try to access /users/invitation/new

I am getting a routing error

Routing Error

No route matches {:controller=>"devise/dashboards", :action=>"show"}

In my User model:

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

My routes file:

devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations => 'registrations' }

How can I fix this routing issue?

workaround found here Routing error with devise {:controller=>"devise/static", :action=>"about"}

Changed my links:

26:  <li><%= link_to raw("My Agenda"), {:controller => :dashboards, :action => :show}, :tabindex => "-1" %></li>
27:  <li><%= link_to raw("My Services"), {:controller => :creative_services, :action => :index_my_services}, :tabindex => "-1" %></li>

to:

<li><%= link_to raw("My Agenda"), "/dashboards/show", :tabindex => "-1" %></li>
<li><%= link_to raw("My Services"), "/creative_services/index_my_services", :tabindex => "-1" %></li>

"and then all worked fine"
