Rails + Devise: Redirect to User resource

When my application_controller.rb redirects to users_path like this:

def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
    users_path
end

the redirect works. But if I change it to user_path:

def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
    user_path
end

I get a routing error. Here is my routes.rb:

devise_for :users
get "users/show"

resources :orders

resources :users do
    resources :orders
end

I thought maybe I should pass the userID like this:

def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
    @user = User.find(params[:id])
    user_path(@user)
end

but the error comes back Couldn't find User without an ID. Help?

I spent several hours trying to get the same functionality, and this is the code in the ApplicationController that ended up working for me:

def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
    current_user
end

If I ever tried current_user_path, I always got undefined local variable or method current_user_path errors.

Also, I'm using Rails 3.2.8 and Devise 2.1.2.

Hope that helps.

I think you should try current_user after login

user_path(current_user)
