error in fresh devise install "undefined method `database_authenticatable' for #<ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::TableDefinition:0x1032ebce8>"

[matenia]

I tried to do a rake db:migrate and got the following

undefined method `database_authenticatable' for #ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::TableDefinition:0x1032ebce8

i had started by creating an Account model instead of the normal User model, then just tried to run rake db:migrate ...
At this point the log says that code was updated 10 hours ago, so I hope this is only temporary.

Thanks,
Matenia

EDIT: I'm using Rails 3.0.3 and Ruby 1.8.7

Have you generated devise initializer using rails g devise:install. If you are getting this error, it is probably because you are not requiring 'devise/orm/active_record' in an initializer before running migrations.

aaahhh .... CR4P! ... forgot a step .... i've done it so many times before too! Must have just drawn a mental blank
I appreciate the quick response ..

I feel so stupid, but thanks.

I found another instance where this can pop up. I intitially was using the devise with ActiveRecord and I had a migration that included the devise fields. I then switched to use Mongoid instead of ActiveRecord. I fixed the problem by removing the migration containing the devise fields.
