Routing Error undefined method `hide_action' for ApplicationController:Class

[Emanuel Coen]

Hi I am following this tutorial but the hide_action trick does not work as the method is deprecated in Rails 5.

Does anyone know how I can circumvent the problem?

Hey, Emanuel!

You don't need `hide_action` anymore. Simply define the `current_user` method in your ApplicationController without hiding it. There are no routes to it, so it won't be treated as an action :)

Cheers

Hi Piotr, 

Thanks a lot for your fast answer! I tried to do that but the problem when I do that is that it screws up my entire app. I think it's because I use current_user in a lot of other parts in the app.

For example my navbar should normally display the user's avatar etc. instead of sign up button but now that logic doesnt work anymore. Also I get current_user is nil errors in a lot of parts of the app. I attached two screenshots to make it more clear.

What authentication solution do you use? Is it devise?

Correct!

[Piotrek Okoński]

Then you can completely skip defining your own `current_user` method, it's already there and ready to use :)

Another question :D Do you know why this doesn't work? (Sorry learning rails for three weeks now)

[Piotrek Okoński]

You are trying to execute controller methods (`list` and `show`) on a Model instance. This won't work. Get rid of `.list.` and `.show` from that line.

Excellent it works!! One very last question. 

I have implemented a follow logic with the "acts_as_follower" gem. That works perfectly now! Do you know how I can twitch the public activity so that it just shows activites of users that I follow?

[Emanuel Coen]

I am almost there with : 

@activities = ::PublicActivity::Activity.order("created_at desc").where(owner_id: current_user.all_following, owner_type: "User")

but the problem is that the all_following method returns an array whereas I need just the user_id's within that array

[Emanuel Coen]

I have everything working now! Forget my other questions. Have a good day :)
