Editing user details creates new user. Devise, Rails 4 - ruby-on-rails

Question

I have weird problem, previous created form instead of updating user details such as e-mail or name creates new user with given details.
My form:
this code example I took from views/devise/registrations/edit
<%= form_for(resource, as: resource_name, url: registration_path(resource_name), html: { "data-parsley-validate" => true, :id=>"user-edit"},remote: true, format: :json) do |f| %>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.text_field :name,:class=>"user-input form-control", :id=>"user-name" ,:placeholder=> "Lietotājvārds*",:"data-parsley-group"=>"f1" %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.email_field :email ,:class=>"user-input form-control", :id=>"password",:placeholder=> "E-pasts *",:"data-parsley-group"=>"f2" %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.password_field :current_password, :autocomplete => "off" ,:class=>"user-input form-control", :id=>"password",:placeholder=> "Vecā parole* ",:"data-parsley-group"=>"f3" %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.password_field :password , :class=>"user-input form-control", :id=>"password",:placeholder=> "Jaunā parole* vismaz 8 simboli ", :"data-parsley-group"=>"f3" %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.password_field :password_confirmation , :class=>"user-input form-control", :id=>"password",:placeholder=> "Atkārtot paroli * vismaz 8 simboli ", :"data-parsley-group"=>"f3" %>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="blue-button btn btn-default">Apstiprināt</button>
<%end%>

I am confused. Is it registration_path(resource_name) that creates this error?
Any advise could be helpful.!
thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The issue is in the form as it is pointing to the registration_path(resource_name) path.
The example you are using is taken from How To: Allow users to edit their account without providing a password and it says:
and provide an edit and update actions, as you would do for any other
resource in your application.
Which means you need to create a route to the edit method and use it as you wish.
The example above is for updating the user without the password, but what you are doing is updating the password.
For the solutions, read How To: Allow users to edit their password
An example solution - #3:
UsersController
class UsersController < ApplicationController
before_filter :authenticate_user!
def edit
#user = current_user
end
def update_password
#user = User.find(current_user.id)
if #user.update(user_params)
# Sign in the user by passing validation in case their password changed
sign_in #user, :bypass => true
redirect_to root_path
else
render "edit"
end
end
private
def user_params
# NOTE: Using `strong_parameters` gem
params.require(:user).permit(:password, :password_confirmation)
end
end
If you are using several scopes, specify the one you are signing in:
sign_in :user, #user, bypass: true
The route should be the following:
resource :user, only: [:edit] do
collection do
patch 'update_password'
end
end
View
<%= form_for(#user, :url => { :action => "update_password" } ) do |f| %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :password, "Password" %><br />
<%= f.password_field :password, :autocomplete => "off" %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :password_confirmation %><br />
<%= f.password_field :password_confirmation %>
</div>
<div class="action_container">
<%= f.submit %>
</div>
<% end %>
To use "confirm_password" field to force user to enter old password
before updating with the new one: Change #user.update(user_params) to
#user.update_with_password(user_params) in the controller along with
adding :current_password to the permitted parameters, then and add the
following to the view code:
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :current_password %> <i>(we need your current password to confirm your changes)</i><br />
<%= f.password_field :current_password %>
</div>
Remember, Devise models are like any model in your application. If you
want to provide custom behavior, just implement new actions and new
controllers. Don't try to bend Devise.

Answer 2

I saw your question and maybe the problem is on form call.
Try insert html: { method: :put }. With simple_form I use this way:
= simple_form_for(resource, as: resource_name, url: registration_path(resource_name), html: { method: :put }) do |f|
How you omitted the method of send the form, it's sending as post and creating a new record, I presume.
