I am at a complete loss as to what could be causing this all of a sudden.

Don't know if this will help, but this is my Gemfile.lock:

There are a few things to note here:

It's safer to specify maximum versions to update to in your Gemfile
Your session is not deserializing correctly - this is the cause of the exception you're seeing
If you're having trouble with a single gem and need to update, use bundle update <gem name>

Specify maximum Gem versions

You should get into the practice of using the pessimistic version constraint (the ~> operator) in your Gemfile. This essentially allows you to say that gems can only be updated to higher patch levels.

Ruby developers tend to use the standard of version numbers with three numbers: x.x.x, e.g. 2.0.1. The first number is the major version, the second number the minor version and the third number is the patch.

Major version updates are likely to break old functionality. If you upgrade from 1.x.x to 2.x.x, it could be a painful process. Minor version updates should add features and, in rare cases, change existing functionality, but it should be backwards compatible. Patch level updates should be purely bug fixes.

The pessimistic version constraint can be used to say "only allow patch level updates". For example:

gem 'devise', '~> 2.2.3'  # Only the '.3' can increase, e.g. 2.2.4, 2.2.5

If you do this for all of your gems then you can be reasonably sure that bundle update will update gems to compatible versions. In your Gemfile you have

gem 'devise', '>= 2.2.3'

This would potentially allow the installation of devise 3.0.0, which you can almost guarantee would be problematic.

It's good practice to find a gem configuration that works, then use the pessimistic version constraint to lock your Gemfile down to only patch level updates.

Session deserialization

It looks like devise has been updated, which has caused a session deserialization problem. You could check out an old version of your Gemfile.lock, then downgrade to the devise version that was working. Or you could just clear your cache if you don't have anything critical in the session and use the new version.

Update a single gem

Running bundle update will attempt to update all gems in your Gemfile. If you only need to update a single gem, use bundle update <gem name>. All the others will remain at the same version.

The question was posted a long time ago so I suppose the original person doesn't need the answer anymore. But there might be people like me who is in desperate need for an answer other than blowing up all sesssions. Here's the cause and my solution: Devise 2.2.4 has backward incompatible changes that breaks all existing session. See the change log for 2.2.4 https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

Sessions created by devise >=2.2.4 cannot be correctly handled by devise <=2.2.3.

The problem comes from the session keys devise used. Let's say you have devise on your Player model. For devise<=2.2.3, the session has the following in the session

session["warden.user.player.key']=["Player", [player_id], "somehashhere"]

For devise>=2.2.4, the session becomes the following

session["warden.user.player.key']=[[player_id], "somehashhere"]

I suppose the devise author don't like the "Player" as it's already specified in a lot of different places as well as the key itself. It's a reasonable change and the new code does handle the upgrade correctly as it can understand the old sessions and keeps your outstanding sessions alive.

But that only solves the problem for upgrade, not downgrade. If you upgrade your devise to 2.2.4, log in and then downgrade to 2.2.3, you will see an error like this. Apparently somewhere in devise code (<2.2.3) it converts the 'Play' into symbol :user. But the 'User' is not there anymore and you got a 'not a symbol' error.

Devise page points to a solution only if you use db storage for session. You would need a migration for that https://gist.github.com/moll/6417606

If you use cookie store storage (rails default for a long time), then you need to add the following code to application controller when you downgrade from later version of devise

before_filter :fix_session
def fix_session
    key = session["warden.user.player.key"]
    if key && key.is_a?(Array) && key[0].is_a?(Array)
      session["warden.user.player.key"].unshift('Player')
    end
end

As for why downgrading? If you are sure that everything works and you will never have to rollback then it's not an issue. But if you are not so sure, you will need this.

I updated my Gemfile to gem "devise", ">= 2.2.4" and then deleted my Gemfile.lock and re-created it by doing bundle install.

For whatever reason, that seems to have fixed this particular issue.

I can't say, for sure, though that it was caused by that version of Devise. It could have been another gem that got updated - but that's the only change I made that has worked.

So take that with a grain of salt.
