I found where you got stucked. It’s our fault, you have to configure DeviseMailer.sender and Notifier.sender. I forgot to fix generator output when I renamed the model.

I’m working on a clean install of ruby and rails via RVM on my linux box now, and if I can duplicate the issue I had I’ll email you directly with all versions and precise errors.

Ok, so it can maybe be related with Devise version (we had Notifier, but it was renamed to DeviseMailer). If you have a chance to try it again, please count on me to have it running!

Holy crap, talk about fast response!

Basically this was on a macbook using the latest stable rails 2.3.4 with the latest stable ruby (1.8.7). We did:
– Created the app with rails myapp
– Installed the gem and completed the other instructions in the ‘installation’ section of the readme.rdoc (http://github.com/plataformatec/devise/blob/master/README.rdoc)
– The instructions basically said to use the generators to make it all easy, so we ran “ruby script/generate devise_install”
– In the output instructions there it had 3 next steps to do. The second, adding a Nofity.x.x (setting the sending email address for the mailing system I believe) to the config/application.rb was where things broke, and adding that line at the start, middle or end of the file would cause us to not be able to start the script/server and it would break with an error relating to an undefined something something (most likely to do with not pulling the ActionMailer into the proejct)

Unfortunately I don’t have access to the same system right now and my attempt to duplicate the problem on my linux box is failing for other reasons (undefined method middleware). *sigh*

Hey, I’m José Valim, from Plataforma which released devise.

I’m sorry you could not having it working through the README steps, maybe we forgot about something while writing it.

However, I cannot understand in which step you failed, which Rails version you were using and so on. So could you please provide more information, so other people don’t get stuck like you unfortunately did?

Thanks!
