Rails Devise - current_user is nil

Question

For some reason, current_user returns nil in my model-less controller (Subscriptions). I have found nothing on the Internet to justif

Answer 1

for current_user to work you need to add before_filter :authenticate_user! to your class, like:

class SubscriptionsController < ApplicationController  
  before_filter :authenticate_user!

  def new
    ...
  end

  def create
    curent_user    # returns nil
  end
end

and the authenticate_user! method will set the current user for you :)
