【Rails】rails g devise:installで遭遇したUser does not respond to 'devise' method.について

状況にぴったりの日本語記事がなさそうなので書いておきます。次のエラーにお困りのかたへ。

User does not respond to 'devise' method. This usually means you haven't loaded your ORM file or it's being loaded too late. To fix it, be sure to require 'devise/orm/YOUR_ORM' inside 'config/initializers/devise.rb' or before your application definition in 'config/application.rb' (RuntimeError)

原因： rails g devise:install を後からやろうとしていませんか？

先走って、さきにモデルやら何やら作成して、急に思い出してrails g devise:install しようとして次のエラーにかかります。私のことです。

$ rails g devise:install

解決法

今回はroutes.rbの devise_for〜を削除したところ、rails g devise:installができるようになりました（先走りすぎ？）。そのほかdeviseのメソッドを呼び出そうとしている箇所があれば疑ってみると良さそうです。
