Devise confusing routes

I had a similar problem yesterday.

I would go to the root of my site and I would get a Too Many Redirects
message. It seems like there was an infinite loop. After struggling for
over an hour yesterday late at night, it seemed like I fixed it.

But now, when I want to create a New User, it''s redirecting me to the
Sign In screen. Seems like I didn''t fix the problem completely.

I think Devise is confusing the routes. If I do rake routes, I get
this...


new_user_session GET    /users/sign_in(.:format)
user_session POST   /users/sign_in(.:format)
destroy_user_session DELETE /users/sign_out(.:format)

new_user GET    /users/new(.:format)
edit_user GET    /users/:id/edit(.:format)
user GET    /users/:id(.:format)

This is routes.rb

devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations =>
''users/registrations'' }

resources :companies
resources :users
resources :companies do
  resources :users
end

I think the routes are getting confused somehow. Because when I click on
Create New User button, it seems me to the Sign in form
(new_user_session, instead of new_user).

Re: Devise confusing routes

Actually if you are using devise for registration, you probably want to use 
the new_user_registration route. It''s possible your Users controller is
secured, so it''s not allowing access unless the user is logged in (and
thus
redirects to the sign in page).

Re: Devise confusing routes

The user is logged in. So it''s redirecting me to the root url with the 
message "You are already signed in".

So I go to create new user form, I click Create User, and then redirects 
me to the root url "You are already signed in".

This is my log:

Re: Devise confusing routes

I just remembered what fixed the Too Many Redirects error last night. I 
move the devise_for statement to the top of the routes file.

devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations => 
''users/registrations'' }

Re: Devise confusing routes

SO you notice how it''s hitting the RegistrationsController when I click
the Create User button?

That sounds like it''s your problem. The Devise registrations controller
does
not allow a user to be logged in. The only reason you don''t get that
error
for your "new" action is because you aren''t using the
"new" action from the
devise registrations controller - you''re using the "new"
action from your
users controller.

Re: Devise confusing routes

This is getting extremely frustrating! >:-(

So I moved the devise_for statement, under resources users:
  resources :companies
  resources :users

  resources :companies do
    resources :users
  end

  devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations => 
''users/registrations'' }

and now the form DOES WORK, but now I''m back at the Too Many Redirects 
error!!!

If I remove the before_filter :authenticate_user! in the application 
controller I get errors like Couldn''t find User with ID=sign_in or 
Couldn''t find User with ID=sign_out

My neck hurts from tension! :(

Re: Devise confusing routes

The "devise_for :users" should go before your "resources
:users"

The problem is most likely occurring because you have mixed references to 
your users controller and the devise registrations controller. Without 
seeing your code it''s impossible to determine exactly where the problem
is.

Does your "create new user" link go to new_user_registration_path? It 
should.

Re: Devise confusing routes

Ok, so just moved devise_for at the top of the routes file.

This is my users controller. I removed a lot of code to isolate the 
problem, but even without that code, it shouldn''t tell me "user is
already sign in" and send me to the root url.

---------------------------------------------------------------
  def index
    @companies = Company.all(:conditions => ["account_id == ?", 
current_user.account_id])
    @users = User.all(:order => ''email'')

      format.html # index.html.erb
    end
  end

  def show
    @user = User.find(params[:id])

    respond_to do |format|
      format.html # show.html.erb
    end
  end

  # POST /users
  # POST /users.xml
  def create
@user = User.new
    respond_to do |format|
      if @user.save
        format.html { redirect_to(edit_user_path(@user), :notice => 
''User was successfully created.'') }
        format.xml  { render :xml => @user, :status => :created, 
:location => @user }
      else
        format.html { render :action => "new" }
        format.xml  { render :xml => @user.errors, :status => 
:unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
  end

  def new
    @user = User.new
    respond_to do |format|
      format.html # new.html.erb
      format.xml  { render :xml => @user }

Re: Devise confusing routes

oh ok, well, yes maybe that''s it! Maybe it was kinda obvious and I 
didn''t see it! There is two different ways to create a new user.

SIGN UP
A Sign Up form, where people can subscribe to the Web App. When they 
subscribe, it creates an account for them and a user is created via the 
Sign Up form (a modified version of Devise Sign Up form)

ACCOUNT OWNER ADDING USERS
A Create New User form from INSIDE the Web App, where the Account Owner 
can add users for the Web App.

The one in which I''m currently working on, it''s on the form
from INSIDE
the Web App so Account Owners can add people to the account. So I guess 
whenever a new user is attempted to be created, Devise sends them to 
the, duh, Registration Controller. But I need a form that it''s supposed
to be handled by the User Controller.

How do you recommend I tackle that problem? Should do something to use 
the Registration Controller or should I use the User Controller?

Still the question remains, why does the Create New User form from the 
Users Controller sends me to the Sign In page, realizes I''m already 
signed in, then redirects me to the root url with message "You are 
already logged in"?

Re: Devise confusing routes

Yep, I already understood what the problem was.

For my own future reference and if anybody else runs into the same 
problem.

Devise uses RegistrationController to create new users via the Sign Up 
form. If you try to add new users on your own by creating your very own 
User model, controller and views. When you submit the new user form. The 
app will try to use the RegistrationController instead of the 
UsersController.

I''m going to try to do something else. Maybe something like this...
