devise config.timeout_in not working

Question

I am unable to timeout session with devise session timeout in initializers/devise.rb

I set

config.timeout_in = 1.minute

in initializers/devise.rb and i signin with one user and stayed idle for 2 minutes. This is suppose to invalidate current session and again prompt to ask for user credentials but the session never dies.

Am i doing something wrong or missing anything?

Thanks

Answer 1

The timeout_in and remember_me will not work together.

Timeoutable incompatible with the remember_me checkbox. You can have one, but not both.

Answer 2

You need to include :timeoutable in your Model, i.e.

devise :timeoutable
