In Rails 4 with devise gem, overriding after_sign_in_path_for is not effective -

in applicationcontroller, according devise docs, how to: redirect specific page on successful sign in , sign out, case switch when can not reached, in pry debugging console, shows 'resource.class == user true'. don't know part of rails processing missed, hint appreciated!

# applicationcontroller.rb class applicationcontroller < actioncontroller::base   # prevent csrf attacks raising exception.   # apis, may want use :null_session instead.   protect_from_forgery with: :exception     protected   def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)     # check class of object determine type     binding.pry     case resource.class     when user       puts "user redirect ==== "       return session.delete(:return_to) || current_user_path     else       puts "super call ....."       super     end   end end 

you pretty close. need resource class name using resource.class.name , can compare string such 'user' nothing class name.

def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)   # check class of object determine type   binding.pry   case resource.class.name   #=>this return class name i.e 'user'   when 'user'     puts "user redirect ==== "     return session.delete(:return_to) || current_user_path   else     puts "super call ....."     super   end end
