I am attempting to use the Devise Gem in my rails app for authentication when a user signs up. But when I go to my rails console to check the User table it does not have the new user created in the database. I tried to override the Devise Registration controller with my signup controller but no luck. The Registration controller does not appear to be setting the create method so that it can be created in the database. Can anyone offer any assistance with where I am going wrong?
What is showing in the server logs after a user signs up:
Started GET "/users/sign_up?utf8=%E2%9C%93&authenticity_token=ruu1To891VYxDpsZlU4HjeAatrsX%2BQXcjj0WVpFexExAaEuKxQEDhrNl8GNqeu30lcaiwJFED7H40cmqXH%2FxpA%3D%3D&user%5Bemail%5D=fake.email%40gmail.com&user%5Bpassword%5D=[FILTERED]&commit=Sign+up" for ::1 at 2016-10-08 11:14:49 -0500 Processing by Devise::RegistrationsController#new as HTML Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓", "authenticity_token"=>"ruu1To891VYxDpsZlU4HjeAatrsX+QXcjj0WVpFexExAaEuKxQEDhrNl8GNqeu30lcaiwJFED7H40cmqXH/xpA==", "user"=>{"email"=>"[email protected]", "password"=>"[FILTERED]"}, "commit"=>"Sign up"} Rendered devise/registrations/new.html.erb within layouts/application (3.6ms)

Devise Registration Controller routes:
cancel_user_registration GET /users/cancel(.:format) devise/registrations#cancel
user_registration POST /users(.:format) devise/registrations#create
new_user_registration GET /users/sign_up(.:format) devise/registrations#new
edit_user_registration GET /users/edit(.:format) devise/registrations#edit
PATCH /users(.:format) devise/registrations#update
PUT /users(.:format) devise/registrations#update
DELETE /users(.:format) devise/registrations#destroy
Attempt to override Devise Registration controller:
class SignupController::RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
def new
#@user = User.new
@resource_name = User.new
end
def create
@resource_name = User.new(user_params)
#if @user.save
if @resource_name.save
flash[:notice] = "Your user account has been created!"
create_session(@resource_name)
redirect_to '/'
else
flash[:error] = "Your user account was not created, please try again."
render :new
end
end
def user_params
params.require(:user, :email)
end
end
@resource_namein devise is the name of the user class - not the new user instance.@resourceis the resource being created. And you really should not override the whole controller just to alter the views or add an extra attribute. I would start by reading the docs and the wiki as there are how to's for basically any scenario imaginable. – max
