Devise routes being awkward

Devise is causing new_user_registration_path to link to registrations/new.user for no reason, I'm not sure why this is happening. I've barely customized Devise routes, and I'm not clear why this is happening. I ran rake routes, the output is below

                 Prefix Verb   URI Pattern                       Controller#Action
        new_user_session GET    /auth/signin(.:format)            devise/sessions#new
            user_session POST   /auth/signin(.:format)            devise/sessions#create
    destroy_user_session DELETE /auth/logout(.:format)            devise/sessions#destroy
           user_password POST   /auth/password(.:format)          devise/passwords#create
       new_user_password GET    /auth/password/new(.:format)      devise/passwords#new
      edit_user_password GET    /auth/password/edit(.:format)     devise/passwords#edit
                         PATCH  /auth/password(.:format)          devise/passwords#update
                         PUT    /auth/password(.:format)          devise/passwords#update
cancel_user_registration GET    /auth/cancel(.:format)            devise/registrations#cancel
       user_registration POST   /auth(.:format)                   devise/registrations#create
   new_user_registration GET    /auth/signup(.:format)            devise/registrations#new
  edit_user_registration GET    /auth/edit(.:format)              devise/registrations#edit
                         PATCH  /auth(.:format)                   devise/registrations#update
                         PUT    /auth(.:format)                   devise/registrations#update
                         DELETE /auth(.:format)                   devise/registrations#destroy
                    root GET    /                                 pages#home
           registrations GET    /registrations(.:format)          registrations#index
                         POST   /registrations(.:format)          registrations#create
        new_registration GET    /registrations/new(.:format)      registrations#new
       edit_registration GET    /registrations/:id/edit(.:format) registrations#edit
            registration GET    /registrations/:id(.:format)      registrations#show
                         PATCH  /registrations/:id(.:format)      registrations#update
                         PUT    /registrations/:id(.:format)      registrations#update
                         DELETE /registrations/:id(.:format)      registrations#destroy

Please also post your routes.rb file too.

Hi Jon,

Devise has a shared links template under 

app/views/devise/shared/_links.html.erb

if you check that file you will see this line of code:

<%- if devise_mapping.registerable? && controller_name != 'registrations' %>
  <%= link_to "Sign up", new_registration_path(resource_name) %><br />
<% end -%>

Your other registrations controller conflicts with this url. You can see this path is existing in your routes.rb file also for registrations controller. 

new_registration GET    /registrations/new(.:format)      registrations#new

Since new action does not take any parameters (unless a nested routing exist),

new_registration_path(resource_name) has a URI Pattern as 

/registrations/new.user

You have to fix this conflict.

If you rename the registrations controller with something else, then you will see that new_registration_path(resource_name) is referring to /auth/signup link.
