Question

I have a user model:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

end

This model is used to store all the corporate users

Then I would like to have another user model inside my workplace namespace:

class Workplace::User < ActiveRecord::Base

end

This class would be used for the users of my users in their workplace

It doesn’t work and rises following error message when I want to migrate:

Expected .../app/models/workplace/user.rb to define User

I don’t have this issue with models using different names but I want to use the same name (makes more sense to me…)

How could I? Thanks!!!

When you declare classes in a name space, rails expects the files for the MVC to be placed in a folder with the same name as the namespace.

Try placing them in

app/models/workplace/user.rb

app/controllers/workplace/user_controller.rb

app/views/workplace/
