With a standard installation of Rails_Admin, which uses authentication for authentication and CanCan, accessing http: // localhost: 3000 / admin as a non-administrator user creates the following server log:
Started GET "/admin" for 127.0.0.1 at 2011-08-09 22:46:10 -0400
Processing by RailsAdmin::MainController
User Load (0.2ms) SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."id" = 1 LIMIT 1
Completed 404 Not Found in 151ms
ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches {:controller=>"gyms"}):
app/controllers/application_controller.rb:5:in `block in <class:ApplicationController>'
Everything to the last part looks fine. As far as I can tell, CanCan correctly eliminates the exception and tries to redirect to root_url using the following code:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
protect_from_forgery
rescue_from CanCan::AccessDenied do |exception|
redirect_to root_url, :alert => exception.message
end
end
TopOut::Application.routes.draw do
mount RailsAdmin::Engine => '/admin', :as => 'rails_admin'
devise_for :users
resources :gyms
root :to => "gyms#index"
end
But for some reason, when redirecting to root_url, CanCan only tries to click
{:controller=>"gyms"}
but not
{:controller=>"gyms", :action=>"index"}
Perhaps this is a problem with CanCan? Or is there some specific aspect of redirect_to or root_url that I skipped in the docs?
