Second devise model not using generated views

Question

I have a User and a Rep model

devise_for :users, :controllers => {:registrations => 'user_registration'}
devise_for :reps

I ran

rails generate devise:views reps

The custom views show up in app/views/reps

But the rep paths are still using the built in devise views

Rendered ~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/devise-1.4.9/app/views/devise/registrations/edit.html.erb

Instead of the generated reps views.

Answer 1

I had the same problem. I eventually spotted this in the documentation.

If you have more than one role in your application (such as “User” and “Admin”), you will notice that Devise uses the same views for all roles. Fortunately, Devise offers an easy way to customize views. All you need to do is set “config.scoped_views = true” inside “config/initializers/devise.rb”.

So I switched the config.scoped_views to true and it worked a charm :)
