Question

Having an interesting issue with redirects. On my user update page (at /username/edit), users can update their name, email and username. Once the update is complete, if the user updates their username, the path that they are redirected (in this case, its edit_user_path causes an error:

Cannot redirect to nil!

My Users controller looks like this:

def update
    find_user

    if @user.update_attributes(params[:user])
        sign_in @user
        flash[:success] = "User updated"
        redirect_to edit_user_path
    else
        flash[:notice] = "There was an error updating this user:"
        redirect_to edit_user_path
    end
end

find_user is a method to find @user.

Essentially, how do I force the routes to update once this update happens?

Answer 1

Perhaps try:

edit_user_path(@user)
