Rails Devise - multiple models

Question

I need help with devise and the option to use multiple models.

At the moment i got a User model and a Client model which is inside a namespace:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
    # Include default devise modules. Others available are:
    # :confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable
    devise :database_authenticatable, :recoverable, :registerable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable
end

class Test::Client < ActiveRecord::Base
    # Include default devise modules. Others available are:
    # :confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable
    devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
     :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable
end

As you can see, i included devise in both models. Like its in the doc..

So have a look at my routes:

devise_for :users, controllers: {passwords: 'passwords',
                               sessions: 'sessions'}

devise_for :clients, class_name: 'Test::Client', controllers: {sessions: 'test/sessions'}

My problem now is, that when i create a login form for my Client model:

<%= form_for(resource, as: resource_name, url: client_session_path(resource_name), html: {class: ''}) do |f| %>
<% end %>

it has following url: /clients/sign_in.client

What is this .client? It drives me crazy. When you need more informations let me know..

EDIT 1:

I edited my model structure now.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
    # Include default devise modules. Others available are:
    # :confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable
    devise :database_authenticatable, :recoverable, :registerable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable
end

class Test::Client < User
    # some Client only functions
end

So the login as a normal User works. But the Client login still doesn't. In my view i did this:

<%= form_for(Test::Client.new, as: :client, url: session_path(:client)

When i enter my credentials i get redirected to "/users/sign_in" but nothing else happend. In my log i got a filter entry:

Filter chain halted as :require_no_authentication rendered or redirected

@huanson i already tried this. But then i got the problem that the object is always type *User* but i need *Client* methods and so on — Zero, Oct 16 '15 at 15:18
ya well, u still have the user and the test::client and the client you can extend everything. but still just one login and 1 routing — Tim Kretschmer, Oct 16 '15 at 15:20
i know what you mean. But when i login with some data, i get an user object. And i cant go form user object to client object. U understand what i mean? — Zero, Oct 16 '15 at 15:24
of course you can go! just override the current_user method and if its type=Client, then it returns a test::client object. — Tim Kretschmer, Oct 16 '15 at 15:26
@huanson i dont get it. So i must add a type column to the user table? — Zero, Oct 19 '15 at 07:51
just google a little for STI (single table inheritance) then you can see what i mean — Tim Kretschmer, Oct 19 '15 at 09:37

@huanson Ok. I implemented it as the example says. But look at my edit to see what happend when i try to login. — Zero, Oct 19 '15 at 11:43

Answer to the original question
in my app

<%= user_session_path(resource_name) %>
# Output
/users/sign_in.user
# In this example; the `resource_name` is redundant

<%= user_session_path %> 
# no need to pass arg is your are surely gonna use `user` as the resource
# Output
/users/sign_in

<%= session_path(:user) %>
# Output
/users/sign_in

there is a helper method defined in devise to determine the sign_in_url according to resource;

What is this .client? Ans: client is the name of the resource you defined for devise; in your case there are two resources;

use the following if you are gonna have different view templates for different resources;

<%= form_for(resource, as: resource_name, url: client_session_path, html: {class: ''}) do |f| %>
<% end %>

If want to share the view template; use

<%= form_for(resource, as: resource_name, url: session_path(resource_name), html: {class: ''}) do |f| %>
<% end %>

FYI :

[8] pry(main)> app.members_path
=> "/members"
[9] pry(main)> app.leads_path(2)
=> "/leads.2"
[10] pry(main)> app.lead_path(2)
=> "/leads/2"

Thanks for your answer. I can login now but i cant access the user. Current_user is empty. When i try to login the message "youre already logged in" appears. – Zero Oct 19 '15 at 13:31
how come; if you are logged in there must be `current_user` set; could your share the error log please – Shiva Oct 19 '15 at 13:36
Oh; since you are using the `client` resource so; no `current_user` is set; try `current_client` – Shiva Oct 19 '15 at 13:37
Damn man youre a genius <3 I work like 2 days on this sh*t. Thanks! – Zero Oct 19 '15 at 13:45
