flash message not appearing with devise after_sign_in_path

I added a devise after_sign_in_path_for method and my flash messages are not appearing. Any idea?

  def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
    case current_user.default_role_sym
    when  :super_admin
      flash.now[:notice] = 'Signed in as Super Admin'
      root_url
    when  :company_admin
      flash.now[:notice] = 'Signed in as company admin'
      root_url
    else
      msg = "Signed in as ELSE"
      flash.now[:notice] = 'Signed in as pending client'
      root_url
    end
  end

Just move the method to application_controller.rb and you should be good.

After sign in path is called to get the URL to redirect the user to, so after that method is called a 302 redirect is issued from Rails. The browser will make another request to your rails app for the URL that your returned (root_url in this case). flash.now is only available during the current request, after the request complete that flash will be empty. However, if you set flash[:notice] it'll be available on the next request.

Try setting flash[:notice] instead of flash.now[:notice]. See this rails guide for more information.
