How to get friendly_id gem get working with Rails 5.0.0.rc1?

Question

I am using friendly_id in my rails app. I have the following in the gemfile.

gem 'friendly_id', '~> 5.1'

I get 404 error whenever I visit a user profile.

User controller, show method

  def show
    @user = User.find(params[:id])
    @microposts = @user.microposts.paginate(page: params[:page])
    respond_to do |format|
      format.html
      format.js    
    end      
  end

User.rb

  extend FriendlyId
  friendly_id :name, use: [:slugged, :finders]   

I figured that friendly_id is not working.
Any idea how to solve this? Thanks

I believe what you have to do is user Model.friendly.find instead of find.

def show
  @user = User.friendly.find(params[:id])
  @microposts = @user.microposts.paginate(page: params[:page])
  respond_to do |format|
    format.html
    format.js    
  end      
end

I hope you have extended your model with FriendlyId. Let me know if it works.
