Rails Devise after_sign_in_path_for(resource)

Question

I have two devise models namely user and technician . I want technicians to be directed to a particular page when they login so I implemented it according to the devise tutorial and put this in the application controller

def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
  case resource.class
  when technician
    new_services_path  
  when user
    root_path
  end
end

but I get this error. [![enter image description here][1]][1] what am I missing here?

Answer 1

You need to update your switch . resource.class will return class of the resource ( User or Technician ). So, you modify your method as follow:

def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
  case resource.class
  when Technician
    new_services_path  
  when User
    root_path
  end
end

Answer 2

Classes are being written with capital letter: Technician , User . The following code should work:

def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
  case resource.class
  when Technician
    new_services_path  
  when User
    root_path
  end
end

Answer 3

You can try this.

def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
  case resource.class.name
  when "Technician"
    new_services_path  
  when "User"
    root_path
  end
end
