Cannot Update a Devise Object

Question

I'm using rails 4, and I was having issues with the permitted parameters. I got them working for create, but not update...

I have an interesting set-up with devise. I have two different devise models, and one belongs to another via database association.

My problem is that when I go to update, it sends me back to the edit page, it says please review the problems below, and there is nothing highlighted as an error would indicate.

The server looks like this, but I don't see an error...

I don't even see a commit...I'm also not certain why there is so much duplication but that's not really my issue (unless it is)

First -> application_controller.rb

before_filter :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?

and

def configure_permitted_parameters
     devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:account_update) { |u| u.permit(:email, :password, :password_confirmation, :first_name, :last_name, :rate, :engineer_id, :image) }
     devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) { |u| u.permit(:email, :password, :password_confirmation, :first_name, :last_name, :rate, :engineer_id, :image) }
end

This should apply to BOTH models, as it is in my application_controller...

Next, my overridden clients/registration_controller

class Client::RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
skip_before_filter :require_no_authentication, :only => [:new, :create]
 def create
  build_resource(sign_up_params)

  resource_saved = resource.save
  yield resource if block_given?
  if resource_saved
    if resource.active_for_authentication?
      flash[:success] = "New Client Added"
      redirect_to root_path
    else
      set_flash_message :notice, :"signed_up_but_#{resource.inactive_message}" if is_flashing_format?
      expire_data_after_sign_in!
      respond_with resource, location: after_inactive_sign_up_path_for(resource)
    end
  else
    clean_up_passwords resource
    respond_with resource
  end
 end
 def update
  self.resource = resource_class.to_adapter.get!(send(:"current_#{resource_name}").to_key)
  prev_unconfirmed_email = resource.unconfirmed_email if resource.respond_to?(:unconfirmed_email)

  resource_updated = update_resource(resource, account_update_params)
  yield resource if block_given?
  if resource_updated
    if is_flashing_format?
      flash_key = update_needs_confirmation?(resource, prev_unconfirmed_email) ?
        :update_needs_confirmation : :updated
      set_flash_message :notice, flash_key
    end
    sign_in resource_name, resource, bypass: true
    respond_with resource, location: after_update_path_for(resource)
  else
    clean_up_passwords resource
    respond_with resource
  end
 end
end

I'll post my routes for good measure

devise_for :clients, :controllers => {:registrations => "client/registrations"}
   resources :clients, :only => [:show, :new, :edit, :update]

devise_for :engineers, :controllers => {:registrations => "engineer/registrations"}
   resources :engineers, :only => [:show]

devise_scope :client do
  get "clients/:id", to: "clients#show" 
end 

Why doesn't my resource update?!

IIRC, you need to pass a parameter called current_password in order to update a user via RegistrationsController.
