Rails: Using Devise with single table inheritance

Question

I am having a problem getting Devise to work the way I'd like with single table inheritance.

I have two different types of account organised as follows:

class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
  devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable
end

class User < Account
end

class Company < Account
end

I have the following routes:

devise_for :account, :user, :company

Users register at /user/sign_up and companies register at /company/sign_up. All users log in using a single form at /account/sign_in (Account is the parent class).

However, logging in via this form only seems to authenticate them for the Account scope. Subsequent requests to actions such as /user/edit or /company/edit direct the user to the login screen for the corresponding scope.

How can I get Devise to recognise the account 'type' and authenticate them for the relevant scope?

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Answer 1

try to change routes like so:
devise_for :accounts, :users, :companies
because Devise uses plural names for it's resources

Please let me know if it help you
