I'm trying to override some the functionality of the default devise registrations controller so that only certain users can create accounts for others. So in a file called registrations_controller.rb under the controllers/users folder I have the following
class Users::RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
before_filter :check_permissions, :only => [:new, :create, :cancel]
skip_before_filter :require_no_authentication
def check_permissions
authorize! :create, resource
end
end
and in my routes file I have
devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations => 'users/registrations' }
When I try to go to the users/sign_up url I get a a routing error 'uninitialized constant Users::RegistrationsController'.
So what is really weirding me out about this is that I had used pretty much exactly the same functionality in a rails 3 app without a problem. I had a look at some of the other stackoveflow questions similar to this and I'm still none the wiser. The app I'm building now is a rails 3.1 app and I'm using devise 1.5.1
Here are the relevant routes it case they useful
new_user_session GET /users/sign_in(.:format) {:action=>"new", :controller=>"devise/sessions"}
user_session POST /users/sign_in(.:format) {:action=>"create", :controller=>"devise/sessions"}
destroy_user_session DELETE /users/sign_out(.:format) {:action=>"destroy", :controller=>"devise/sessions"}
user_password POST /users/password(.:format) {:action=>"create", :controller=>"devise/passwords"}
new_user_password GET /users/password/new(.:format) {:action=>"new", :controller=>"devise/passwords"}
edit_user_password GET /users/password/edit(.:format) {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"devise/passwords"}
PUT /users/password(.:format) {:action=>"update", :controller=>"devise/passwords"}
cancel_user_registration GET /users/cancel(.:format) {:action=>"cancel", :controller=>"users/registrations"}
user_registration POST /users(.:format) {:action=>"create", :controller=>"users/registrations"}
new_user_registration GET /users/sign_up(.:format) {:action=>"new", :controller=>"users/registrations"}
