devise - Rails http post method returning a 401 unauthorized error -

so i'm developing simple web app, have devise set user authentication. child of user class property. both registration , login work user. however, when try create new property or edit property 401 error:

started post "/api/v1/properties" ::1 @ 2015-06-25 11:00:09 -0400 .... completed 401 unauthorized in 0ms (activerecord: 0.0ms) 

it seems if current_user devise not being passed properties controller suspect association problem or token issue. appreciated.

propertiescontroller:

class api::v1::propertiescontroller < applicationcontroller      skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token, :only => :create     respond_to :json       def index         properties = property.all         render json: properties     end      def show         respond_with property.find(params[:id])        end      def create         property = current_user.property.build(product_params)           if property.save             render json: property, status: 201, location: [:api, property]          else             render json: { errors: property.errors }, status: 422         end     end     ...( code below ) end 

property migration:

class createproperties < activerecord::migration     def change         enable_extension :postgis      create_table :properties |t|         t.string :name         t.integer :user_id          t.timestamps     end          add_index :properties, :user_id end 

applicationcontroller:

class applicationcontroller < actioncontroller::base     before_filter :authenticate_user_from_token!     before_action :authenticate_user!      private      def authenticate_user_from_token!         authenticate_with_http_token |token, options|         user_email = options[:email].presence         user = user_email && user.find_by_email(user_email)          if user && devise.secure_compare(user.authentication_token, token)             sign_in user, store: false         end     end   end  end 

routes:

...(code above) devise_for :users,  path: '/api/v1/users', controllers: { sessions: 'api/v1/sessions', :registration => "registrations" }   "api/v1/users/sign_up" => "users/registrations#new", :as => :user_signup   "api/v1/users/sign_in" => "api/v1/sessions", :as => :user_signin end   namespace :api, defaults: { format: :json }     namespace :v1        resources :properties ...(code below)
