PORailsTutorial.org Chapter9 session.delete issues

Body
copied!<p>I'm following the tutorial on <a href="http://ruby.railstutorial.org" rel="nofollow">http://ruby.railstutorial.org</a></p> <p>Specifically, chapter 9 (9.2.3) <a href="http://ruby.railstutorial.org/chapters/updating-showing-and-deleting-users#top" rel="nofollow">http://ruby.railstutorial.org/chapters/updating-showing-and-deleting-users#top</a></p> <p>I've managed to get the part when a user will get prompted to login when accessing a restricted page then be redirected back to the restricted page after successfully logging in.</p> <p>I'm trying to get it so that after one redirects to the protected page, the next login attempt will direct back to the main user profile page, however, <code>session.delete(:return_to)</code> doesn't appear to be working and the user is repeatedly directed back to the originally saved protected page. Here's my code:</p> <p>My session Controller:</p> <pre><code>class SessionsController < ApplicationController def new end def create user = User.find_by_email(params[:session][:email]) if user && user.authenticate(params[:session][:password]) sign_in user redirect_back_or user # Sign the user in and redirect to the user's show page. else # Create an error message and re-render the signin form. flash.now[:error] = 'Invalid email/password combination' render 'new' end end ... end </code></pre> <p>My session helper:</p> <pre><code>module SessionsHelper def sign_in(user) cookies.permanent[:remember_token] = user.remember_token self.current_user = user end def signed_in? !current_user.nil? end def current_user=(user) @current_user = user end def current_user @current_user ||= User.find_by_remember_token(cookies[:remember_token]) end def current_user?(user) user == current_user end def sign_out self.current_user = nil cookies.delete(:remember_token) end def redirect_back_or(default) redirect_to(session[:return_to] || default) session.delete(:return_to) end def store_location session[:return_to] = request.url end end </code></pre> <p>Any help you can give would be brilliant! It seems like <code>session.delete()</code> simply isn't working.</p>
