NameError: uninitialized constant User

Question

I am using the rails-devise apps with Rails composer. Everything seems fine until I try to interact with the model in the console. I tried the commands:

rails console
User.all

And I get the following error from the console:

NameError: uninitialized constant User

Answer 1

Just restarting the spring loader.

spring stop

then run rails c It's working fine

Answer 2

What does the architecture of your project look like? If you have any modules or namespacing wrapped around your models (API or v1, for example), then you would have to call them with the namespace, i.e. V1::User.all.
