For login and logout I get uninitialized constant Devise::SesssionsController error

In my routes file I have:

Treebook::Application.routes.draw do
  devise_for :users, :controllers => { registrations: 'registrations' }

  devise_scope :user do 
    get 'register', to: 'devise/registrations#new', as: :register
    get 'login', to: 'devise/sesssions#new', as: :login
    get 'logout', to: 'devise/sesssions#destroy', as: :logout
  end
  devise_for :views
  resources :statuses
  root to: 'statuses#index'

Are you using the same versions of all gems as the project does? Such as old versions of Rails and Devise?

No I'm not. I tried creating a sessions_controller.rb file and adding , sessions: 'sessions' to the devise_for line. The routes show up fine in rake routes from devise_scope. Based on the documentation, I should be heading the right direction.

My own answer:

Had to add private code at bottom of sessions_controller:

class Sessions::SessionsController < Devise::SessionsController
 before_filter :configure_sign_in_params, only: [:create]


   def new
    super
   end


  def create
    super
  end


  private

  def configure_sign_in_params 
    devise_parameter_sanitizer.sanitize(:sign_in)
  end
end

works pretty good now.

oh yeah, and change devise_for to:

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

I had this exact same error. Tried a few things, nothing worked. Then i saw a weird similarity between our 2 codes. We both have 3 s's in sesssionscontoller. So, i changed it to 2 s's, like it should be and all worked, fine. :P
