overriding devise after_sign_up_path_for not working

Question

In routes i have the root-path pointing \"home#index\" but when i try to override that with after_sign_up_path_for keeps redirecting me to the root path when I

Answer 1

If using OmniAuth custom callback controllers with Rails 5.2:

In my particular case, the after sign up path was not working: but I was using OmniAuth with a custom callback controller, which was invoking the after_sign_in_path_for rather than the former:

def google_oauth2 @user = User.from_omniauth(request.env["omniauth.auth"])

if @user.persisted?
  # Here's the guilty line your honour:
  sign_in_and_redirect @user, event: :authentication #this will throw if @user is not activated
  set_flash_message(:notice, :success, kind: "Google") if is_navigational_format?
else
  session["devise.google_oauth2_data"] = request.env["omniauth.auth"]
  redirect_to new_user_registration_url
end

end

........And the sign_in_and_redirect path redirects to the after_sign_in_path_for method. So I generated a new devise controller for sessions and simply overrode that method. problem solved!
