Devise recoverable - creating a view for the user to send the reset password email

First post here! I am attempting to extend devise to use the recoverable option so that a user can send themselves an email with a password reset link in it.

I have the recoverable option set in my user.rb model:

devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable, :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable, :confirmable, :omniauthable, :omniauth_providers => [:facebook]

I have added the following to the login form at views/devise/sessions/new.html:

<div class="form-group">
          <%= f.label :password_confirmation, class: "sr-only" %>
          <%= f.password_field :password_confirmation, placeholder: "Confirm Password", autocomplete: "off", class: "form-control"  %>
        </div>

However, when I click that link it takes me to http://localhost:3000/users/password/new, the page is blank (it pulls in the header and footer but no content) which to me suggest that I have that page already but can't locate it in my codebase, is this correct? I assume if I didn't have that page already it would throw a 404 error?

So the things I'm looking to understand are:

a) How do I create a new view and display it at that URL b) I need to add the email form and submit button, but what does this code look like?

Any help would be much appreciated, I know this is probably something quite basic I just can't seem to wrap my head around it!

Rails version 4.2.0
Ruby version 2.0.0

Thanks in advance.

Solution

In order to have and modify devise views you should generate them. So run this command in your projet directory: rails generate devise:views This will generate views in "prject_path/app/views/devise" which will be used in for all devise models. If you have more than one devise model you should use: rails generate devise:views model_name This will generate "prject_path/app/views/model_name" and this will be used only for one model. Reset password view is "prject_path/app/views/devise/passwords/edit.html.erb" and it have needed functionality, but in order to send mails you should to setup your application malier.
