Cannot get single table inheritance work

[0000sir]

Thank you for your work, it a great gem. But I have some issue while using single table inheritance. Models are listed below:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  groupify :group_member, group_class_name: 'Department'
end

class Group < ActiveRecord::Base
  groupify :group
end

class GroupMembership < ActiveRecord::Base
  groupify :group_membership
end

class Department < Group
  has_ancestry
  has_members :users

  def add_employee(u)
    self.add u, as: :employee
  end

  def add_manager(u)
    self.add u, as: :manager
  end

  def remove_employee(u)
    u.groups.delete self
  end

  def remove_manager(u)
    u.groups.delete self
  end

end

I can add a user to a department as well, but when I trying to delete it from the department, it not works, and the sql is:

DELETE FROM "group_memberships" WHERE "group_memberships"."member_id" = ? AND "group_memberships"."member_type" = ? AND "group_memberships"."group_type" = 'Group' AND "group_memberships"."group_id" = 1 AND "group_memberships"."group_type" = ?  [["member_id", 1], ["member_type", "User"], ["group_type", "Group"]]

But the relationship generated in group_memberships, the group_type is Department, so nothing happened after the deletion sql.

This also happens while retrieving department members, department.users runs this sql:

SELECT DISTINCT "users".* FROM "users" INNER JOIN "group_memberships" ON "users"."id" = "group_memberships"."member_id" WHERE "group_memberships"."group_id" = ? AND "group_memberships"."group_type" = ? AND "group_memberships"."member_type" = 'User' AND "group_memberships"."membership_type" = ?  [["group_id", 1], ["group_type", "Group"], ["membership_type", :manager]]

It wont find anything because of wrong group_type, can you give more detail of using single table inheritance? It would be a big help, thank you

This sounds like a bug. I'll do some more investigation.

I was having trouble with this too. Whenever I add a member to a class that inherited from Group, the group type on those member would all be Group not the class name that inherited from Group

@0000sir @asafigan I don't seem to have the described problem deleting and selecting using the branch I'm working on to do some refactoring. Could you see if the bug is fixed for you?

@0000sir @asafigan have you guys checked out #61 for single-table inheritance and polymoprhic improvements? This may become the 1.0 release of Groupify, so your feedback on this refactor is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
