Ruby on Rails

Hello Alfredo,

Could you please provide where and how the current_user is being defined. Are you using an gem for registration/authentication or this is manually defined code?

Also please share the content of controller which contains the action 'home'(for home_path) ?

Well, my guess is that either devise(https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/) or sorcery(https://github.com/NoamB/sorcery/) is being used. If this is the case, it is recommended to use following methods provided by these gems.

1. devise - :authenticate_user! - https://github.com/plataformatec/devise#controller-filters-and-helpers

2. sorcery - :require_login - https://github.com/NoamB/sorcery#api-summary

Good afternoon all,

I'm trying to restrict the access to the application to paths like "localhost:3000/users/1" without a previus login. To do that I have create this function:

'session_controller.rb'
  before_action :authorize

  def authorize
    if current_user.nil?
      redirect_to home_path
    else
      redirect_to user_path(current_user.id)
    end
  end

When the 'current_user' is nil it entryes to an infinite loop. What I have to do to solve this?.


Thanks & Best regards.


Alfredo.
