Devise confusing routes
Leonel *.*
I would go to the root of my site and I would get a Too Many Redirects
message. It seems like there was an infinite loop. After struggling for
over an hour yesterday late at night, it seemed like I fixed it.
But now, when I want to create a New User, it's redirecting me to the
Sign In screen. Seems like I didn't fix the problem completely.
I think Devise is confusing the routes. If I do rake routes, I get
this...
new_user_session GET /users/sign_in(.:format)
user_session POST /users/sign_in(.:format)
destroy_user_session DELETE /users/sign_out(.:format)
new_user GET /users/new(.:format)
edit_user GET /users/:id/edit(.:format)
user GET /users/:id(.:format)
This is routes.rb
devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations =>
'users/registrations' }
resources :companies
resources :users
resources :companies do
resources :users
end
I think the routes are getting confused somehow. Because when I click on
Create New User button, it seems me to the Sign in form
(new_user_session, instead of new_user).

message "You are already signed in".
So I go to create new user form, I click Create User, and then redirects
me to the root url "You are already signed in".
This is my log:

move the devise_for statement to the top of the routes file.
devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations =>
'users/registrations' }

The user is logged in.
That sounds like it's your problem. The Devise registrations controller does not allow a user to be logged in. The only reason you don't get that error for your "new" action is because you aren't using the "new" action from the devise registrations controller - you're using the "new" action from your users controller.
Check out line 2:
https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/blob/master/app/controllers/devise/registrations_controller.rb#L1

So I moved the devise_for statement, under resources users:
resources :companies
resources :users
resources :companies do
resources :users
end
devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations =>
'users/registrations' }
and now the form DOES WORK, but now I'm back at the Too Many Redirects
error!!!
If I remove the before_filter :authenticate_user! in the application
controller I get errors like Couldn't find User with ID=sign_in or
Couldn't find User with ID=sign_out
My neck hurts from tension! :(

The problem is most likely occurring because you have mixed references to your users controller and the devise registrations controller. Without seeing your code it's impossible to determine exactly where the problem is.
Does your "create new user" link go to new_user_registration_path? It should.

This is my users controller. I removed a lot of code to isolate the
problem, but even without that code, it shouldn't tell me "user is
already sign in" and send me to the root url.

didn't see it! There is two different ways to create a new user.
SIGN UP
A Sign Up form, where people can subscribe to the Web App. When they
subscribe, it creates an account for them and a user is created via the
Sign Up form (a modified version of Devise Sign Up form)
ACCOUNT OWNER ADDING USERS
A Create New User form from INSIDE the Web App, where the Account Owner
can add users for the Web App.
The one in which I'm currently working on, it's on the form from INSIDE
the Web App so Account Owners can add people to the account. So I guess
whenever a new user is attempted to be created, Devise sends them to
the, duh, Registration Controller. But I need a form that it's supposed
to be handled by the User Controller.
How do you recommend I tackle that problem? Should do something to use
the Registration Controller or should I use the User Controller?
Still the question remains, why does the Create New User form from the
Users Controller sends me to the Sign In page, realizes I'm already
signed in, then redirects me to the root url with message "You are
already logged in"?
Leonel *.*
For my own future reference and if anybody else runs into the same
problem.
Devise uses RegistrationController to create new users via the Sign Up
form. If you try to add new users on your own by creating your very own
User model, controller and views. When you submit the new user form. The
app will try to use the RegistrationController instead of the
UsersController.
I'm going to try to do something else. Maybe something like this...
