'undefined method `users_url' for Devise Registration Controller

I just used before_save callback in user model like this.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
before_save :limited_sign_up_inactive
 private 
    def limited_sign_up_inactive
      @allowed_emails = LimitedSignup.pluck(:email)
      unless @allowed_emails.include? self.email
        self.status = false   #getting error  in this line
      end
    end
end

Am getting this error

NoMethodError at /users
undefined method `users_url' for #<Devise::RegistrationsController:0xb4b8c18>

while using this line

self.status = false

I want to change status to false before save based on condition. Help me to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Solution:

changed before_save to after_create

and used this line

self.update_attribute(:status, false)

Solution 1:^[1]

You have User model and status - is User instance attribute

You can change

self.status = false

update_attribute(:status, false)

Then you can use this flag in your business logic..

(But obvious you have to have a field status in users table in db)

This issue is caused by callback: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Callbacks.html . Especially these lines are important:

If a before_* callback returns false, all the later callbacks and the associated action are cancelled. If an after_* callback returns false, all the later callbacks are cancelled. Callbacks are generally run in the order they are defined, with the exception of callbacks defined as methods on the model, which are called last.

And you are using callback which always return false and ruins further actions:

def limited_sign_up_inactive
  @allowed_emails = LimitedSignup.pluck(:email)
  unless @allowed_emails.include? self.email
    self.status = false   #getting error  in this line
  end
end

It's not devise issue and to avoid it just add "true" to the end of your callback function:

def limited_sign_up_inactive
  @allowed_emails = LimitedSignup.pluck(:email)
  unless @allowed_emails.include? self.email
    self.status = false   #getting error  in this line
  end
  true
end

Thanks, Alex.

I had the same issue undefined method 'users_url' for Devise Registration Controller using Rails 7 with Devise. Apparently, this is a known issue.

In config/initializers/devise.rb, you can fix it by adding the following line:

config.navigational_formats = ['*/*', :html, :turbo_stream]

This answer helped me.
