Rails 5 ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken error

Question

I have a rails application which I am planning to upgrade to rails 5. I am using devise(v4.2.0) along with rails(v5.0.0). As suggested in devise README.md file, I tried moving the protect_from_forgery above the before_filter but still when I am trying to login or update my bug I get an error ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken

My Application Controller is

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
 protect_from_forgery with: :exception, prepend: true
 before_action :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?

  protected

   def configure_permitted_parameters
     devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:sign_up, keys: [:name])
     devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:account_update, keys: [:name])
   end

end

And my other BugController is

class BugsController < ApplicationController
  protect_from_forgery prepend: true, with: :exception
  before_action :authenticate_user!
  before_action :set_bug, only: [:show, :edit, :update]

    def update
      respond_to do |format|
      if @bug.update(bug_params)
        format.html { redirect_to @bug, notice: 'Bug was successfully updated.' }
        format.json { render :show, status: :ok, location: @bug }
     else
        format.html { render :edit }
        format.json { render json: @bug.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
     end
     end
   end

private
def bug_params
  params.require(:bug).permit(:product, :component, :title, :description, :status_id, :created_by_id, :assigned_to_id)
end


end

As indicated in Devise documentation notes for Rails 5

For Rails 5, note that protect_from_forgery is no longer prepended to the before_action chain, so if you have set authenticate_user before protect_from_forgery, your request will result in "Can't verify CSRF token authenticity." To resolve this, either change the order in which you call them, or use protect_from_forgery prepend: true.
