Setting Devise login page as my unauthenticated root, while having a page as my authenticated root

I have an app that has devise set-up I would like to separate my marketing (landing pages) and application. Cannot figure out how to get unauthenticated users to be sent to my sessions#new login page(root). Once logged in the root page would be dashboard#pages.

I am using rails 5.2.2 and Devise 4.6.1

my routes.rb file

Rails.application.routes.draw do
    devise_scope :users do

        authenticated  do
            root to: 'dashboard#pages'
         end

        unauthenticated do
              root to: 'devise/sessions#new', as: 'unauthenticated_root'
        end

    end
end

This is the error I get.

Could not find devise mapping for path "/". This may happen for two reasons: 

1) You forgot to wrap your route inside the scope block. For example: devise_scope :user do get "/some/route" => "some_devise_controller" end 

2) You are testing a Devise controller bypassing the router. If so, you can explicitly tell Devise which mapping to use: @request.env["devise.mapping"] = Devise.mappings[:user]

I found the answer, here is my page. 

  devise_scope :user do

    root 'devise/sessions#new' 
  end
