Devise error when creating a new user with username and roles - ruby-on-rails

Question

Alright so I’m building an app using Rails 7, Devise, and Rolify. I want to start using Friendly ID to create the URL slugs for my different database tables. I’m applying this to the user table first so I’m adding the username column to the User table. I was able to successfully add the username string to the existing user records I had and I was able to update my User model with the proper syntax to view the users with their friendly ID URL slug based on the username.
I’m running into an error when creating a new user.
NoMethodError (undefined method `for' for #<Devise::ParameterSanitizer:0x00007fc11795a7b0 #auth_keys=[:email], #params=#<ActionController::Parameters {"authenticity_token"=>"bhh5F5BA1ERwI22Trejc1NvudieV9akyOtzS69kAi4Za6sRFpYB65OseiLWBSelfMkS-AAHld-vhDeSX7cMWbQ", "user"=>{"username"=>"bootyman", "email"=>"bootyman#gmail.com", "role_ids"=>["", "3"], "password"=>"password", "password_confirmation"=>"password"}, "commit"=>"Sign up", "controller"=>"devise/registrations", "action"=>"create"} permitted: false>, #resource_name=:user, #permitted={:sign_in=>[:email, :password, :remember_me], :sign_up=>[:email, :password, :password_confirmation], :account_update=>[:email, :password, :password_confirmation, :current_password]}>):

Based on some research on the Devise gem GitHub page I found some things that pointed to adding some code to the application_controller.rb
Here's my application controller:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
respond_to :html, :json
protect_from_forgery with: :exception
before_action :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?
protected
def configure_permitted_parameters
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) do |u|
u.permit(:email, :username, :password, :password_confirmation)
end
end
def require_user
unless user_signed_in?
flash[:alert] = "You must be logged in to perform that action"
redirect_to new_user_session_path
end
end
end
Here's my User model:
class User < ApplicationRecord
has_many :events, dependent: :destroy
has_many :artists, dependent: :destroy
rolify
# Include default devise modules. Others available are:
# :confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable, :trackable and :omniauthable
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
:recoverable, :rememberable, :validatable
validates :email, presence: true,
uniqueness: { case_sensitive: false },
length: { maximum: 105 },
format: { with: URI::MailTo::EMAIL_REGEXP }
validates :password, :presence => true, :on => :create
validates :username, :presence => true, :on => :create
validates_uniqueness_of :username, case_sensitive: false
validates :roles, presence: true
extend FriendlyId
friendly_id :username, use: :slugged
def admin?
self.has_role?(:Admin)
end
end

Answer 1

I found on GitHub that the .for method was deprecated and the replacement code in the devise/parameter_sanitizer.rb for the method is
def configure_permitted_parameters
devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:sign_up, keys: [:name])
devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:account_update, keys: [:name])
end
To access this file you need to run bundle open devise to access the gem files for Devise.
