Unlock_instructions email

Question

i am using the devise for my User account where i will get all the confirmation, user password instructions etc; But i am having a condition where if user account is locked (where status is false in my scenario), he has to get a reset password link through email. This locking process is coded in other controller so we cannot use devise helpers.

my controller code:

def send_instruction

a=[]

if @answer1
  a << '1'
end
if @answer2
  a <<   '2'
end
if @answer3
  a <<  '3'
end

if a.size <= 1

   SiteMailer.unlock_user(current_user).deliver

  current_user.update_attribute(:status,false)

  destroy_user_session_path(current_user)

  flash[:error]= "Your account is locked"

  redirect_to new_user_session_path

 else

  redirect_to user_dashboard_path

end

mailers/site_mailer.rb:

class SiteMailer < ActionMailer::Base

include Devise::Mailers::Helpers

default from: "[email protected]" def unlock_user(user)

@user = user

@url = "pwd_edit"

mail(to: @user.email, subject: 'Your account has been locked')

end

end

in mailer view:

Hi,

Your account with has been locked. Edit Profile: "My link (edit_user_password_url(current_user)".

When i am going through this process, I am getting "No routes found" error. And my routes are correct. Please help me out.

Answer 1

That's because no current_user is present at that time. You should try this instead

edit_user_password_url(@user)
