I've got a rails app where I'm using a combination of authlogic and cancan.
when I check for current_user
in the app, I always get undefined variable or method 'current_user'
I can get the current_user
to display from my UserSessions controller if I use
def create @user_session = UserSession.new(params[:user_session]) if @user_session.save return render :json => current_user end end
however, if in my Home controller, I try
def index return render :json => current_user end
I get the undefined
error.
In my Application Helper, I have
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base protect_from_forgery helper_method :current_user private def current_user_session return @current_user_session if defined?(@current_user_session) @current_user_session = UserSession.find end def current_user return @current_user if defined?(@current_user) @current_user = current_user_session && current_user_session.record end end
so it seems to me the session is being created, but rails is unable to find it again. Can anybody shed some light on why that is?
I've gone through the Ryan Bates tutorial, and a few others, but it all seems the same to me.
