The inactive_message and active_for_authentication

[oklas]

I use devise_token_auth and want to implement blocking user feature. The documentation about feature which I refer here.

First part concerning active_for_authentication work fine.

But the inactive_message does not called. And the result error message does not possible to change. The result is:

{
    "success":false,
    "errors":["A confirmation email was sent to your account at user@example.com. You must follow the instructions in the email before your account can be activated"]
}

How to change the error message? Why it is impossible to change error message via inactive_message and why it is not called? Possible is it bug?

I believe this is the same as #533

I ran into this issue today. There are many reasons why an account could be inactive, so to follow devise's lead, i'm thinking DTA should probably use inactive_message override if it has been defined to the build the error response. Thoughts?

correct. do this in your custom controller.

protected
      def render_create_error_not_confirmed
        render :json=> {:success=>false, errors: ["your account has been disabled"]}, :status=> 421
      end

Works a treat, thanks!

Currently, I am facing the same issue.
I am using devise version - (4.7.3), devise_token_auth - (1.1.5), ruby - (3.0.0) and rails - (6.1.3.1)

I have written my custom method in app/models/user.rb file

def active_for_authentication?
    super && is_active
  end

trying to overwrite inactive_message message in same user model file app/models/user.rb file.But not able to overwrite message. Getting error message as
"A confirmation email was sent to your account at 'admin3@gmail.com'. You must follow the instructions in the email before your account can be activated"

When I tried to overwrite message from config/locales/devise.en.yml

en:
    devise_token_auth:
        sessions:
              not_confirmed: 'Your account is not active.'

Then I am getting custom error message.

Can someone help me with this?

Thank you
