I know i had this working before, but for some reason the current_user method call in one of my create actions keeps returning nil. It works fine when used in other controller and so forth, such as a side panel to show my username.
class CombatInstancesController < ApplicationController
def create
# when creating a new instance, check if the current user has one and destroy it
CombatInstance.find(current_user.combat_instance.id).destroy if current_user.combat_instance
# Now create the new one
render :json => current_user.create_combat_instance
end
def update
@combat_instance = current_user.combat_instance
@combat_instance.trigger_actions(params[:actions])
@combat_instance.perform_ai_actions
@combat_instance.save # should we instead call this in an after hook?
render :json => @combat_instance
end
end
The line CombatInstance.find(current_user.combat_instance.id).destroy if current_user.combat_instance is where current_user returns nil. The workflow is: I go to the home page, i login just fine. I can see my username at the top, which is generated using the current_user helper in the view. However, when i submit a form that hits the create action here, it returns nil.
