Rails 7 + Devise Not seeing flash messages from devise

I have a new rails 7 app [rails new devisetest], a simple controller with static page and added devise [gem 'devise' + rails g devise user]. All defaults. Flash messages added to the application.html.erb as per devise instructions

Devise error messages are not being shown, but I see them being generated in the console (or at least, I see the rendered message but they don't show, and I see rendered for the _links partial and that does show) In another test using a quick scaffold (and having copied the devise views into the app but not modified them), flash messages show for the scaffold but still not for devise.

If I visit http://localhost:3000/users/sign_up and create a user with a too short password I see this in the log

View that should show error message. Devise links are shown but not flash messages

Can anyone point out my mistake please? Or suggest other steps I can follow to get closer to my error?

Thanks


Solution 1:

I have the same issue. It is someway linked with the compatibility of Rails 7.0 and Devise 4.8.1. I am unable to sign up a user. The sqlite3 database also remains empty, so I don't think its just the issue of flash messages and the users aren't being entered. Some people have addressed various issue with Rails 7 / Devise by adding the following to config/initializers/devise.rb:

config.navigational_formats = ['*/*', :html, :turbo_stream]
