Undefined method when using devise in rails

Question

am using devise for my authentication,i tried customizing the users/sign_in route to users/login but i keep getting this error

NoMethodError in Devise::Sessions#new
undefined method `user_session_path' for #<Module:0x651c828>

It highlights this line which is in the sign_in view

<%= form_for(resource, as: resource_name, url: session_path(resource_name)) do |f| %>

below is my route.rb

devise_scope :user do
  get "login", to: "devise/sessions#new"
  post "login", to: "devise/session#new"
end

Do you really want to set up additional routes (meaning that /users/sign_in is still available) or do you just want to change the names of the paths? — trh

If you don't need to ADD new paths to devise, and you simply want to change the path names, then this is a better option:

devise_for :users, path: '', path_names: 
  {:sign_in => 'login', :sign_out => 'logout'}

Though - if you're altering the controllers (using your own instead of devise stock controllers) then this doesn't work well.

Platformatec has some really great documentation though, you should pour through it and mix and match to meet your needs. https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/How-Tos
