cancancan + devise: handling timeoutable exception
ruby-on-rails,ruby-on-rails-3,devise,cancancan
When the session times out, the value of flash[:alert] is set to :timeout, which by default is defined in config/locales/devise.en.yml. So instead of reading the message from exception, try reading from flash[:alert] and make your app react accordingly. For example, this is the code I use in my apps: rescue_from...

It turns out that the issue was with the way I authorized my Newsroom Controller - because Newsroom was a non-restful controller (i.e. there was no model associated with Newsroom. I had to add this to the top of my controller: authorize_resource :class => false As specified here: https://github.com/CanCanCommunity/cancancan/wiki/Non-RESTful-Controllers#alternative-authorize_resource...

Okey, just do this trick for now. Somehow the current_user helper method is being called. So the quickest solution would be if you can do the following.
