Issue when adding Confirmable in Devise - [ArgumentError - wrong number of arguments (given 0, expected 1)]

I've been setting up Devise Confirmable for my development environment Rails 5.1.7 app.

My initializers/devise.rb looks like:

Devise.setup do |config|
  require 'devise/orm/active_record'
  config.secret_key = '########################'
  config.authentication_keys = [ :login ]
  config.skip_session_storage = [:http_auth]
  config.stretches = Rails.env.test? ? 1 : 10
  config.pepper = "@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@"
  config.reconfirmable = true
  config.password_length = 8..128
  config.lock_strategy = :failed_attempts
  config.unlock_strategy = :none
  config.maximum_attempts = 3
  config.sign_out_all_scopes = false
  config.sign_out_via = :delete
  config.warden do |manager|
    manager.failure_app = CustomAuthenticationFailure
  end
    config.expire_password_after = 90.days
end

and my enviroments/development looks like:

config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = false
  config.action_mailer.perform_caching = false
  config.active_support.deprecation = :log
  config.active_record.migration_error = :page_load
  config.assets.debug = true
  config.assets.quiet = true
  config.file_watcher = ActiveSupport::EventedFileUpdateChecker
  config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => "localhost", :port => '3000'}
  config.hostname = ''
  config.relative_url = ''
  ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
  ActionMailer::Base.perform_deliveries = true
  ActionMailer::Base.raise_delivery_errors = true

  ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
    tls: 'true',
    address: '***.***.com',
    port: '25',
    domain: '2222.com',
    authentication: :login,
    user_name: '11111@22222.com',
    password: '111111'
  }

When I sign in for an account, from the UI, I get the below error:

• ArgumentError at /users/login wrong number of arguments (given 0, expected 1) activerecord (5.1.7) lib/active_record/persistence.rb def update(attributes)

For the request parameter
{"utf8"=>"✓", "authenticity_token"=>"*******", "user"=>{"login"=>"admin", "password"=>""}, "commit"=>"Login", "controller"=>"devise/sessions", "action"=>"create"}*

Error shown in the backend console -

ArgumentError - wrong number of arguments (given 0, expected 1):
(eval):1:in `block in compile_lambda'

Database fields added for confirmable are :

## Confirmable
t.string   :confirmation_token
t.datetime :confirmed_at
t.datetime :confirmation_sent_at
t.string   :unconfirmed_email # Only if using reconfirmable

The confirmations_controller looks like -

class ConfirmationsController < Devise::ConfirmationsController
  private
  def after_confirmation_path_for(resource_name, resource)
    sign_in(resource) # In case you want to sign in the user
    root_path
  end
end

In routes.rb

devise_for :users, :path_names => {:sign_in => '/login', :sign_out => '/logout'}, :controllers => {:passwords => "passwords", :registrations => "registrations", confirmations: 'confirmations'} do
    get "/login" => "devise/sessions#new", :as => :new_user_session
    post "/login" => "devise/sessions#create", :as => :user_session
  end

  devise_scope :user do
    root "devise/sessions#new"
    get "/sessions/new", :to => "devise/sessions#new"
    get "/login", :to => "devise/sessions#new"
    get "/logout", :to => "sessions#destroy"
    get "/users/logout", :to => "devise_sessions#destroy"
  end

NOTE:
The same issue is seen when tried to create a new user, through rails console.
