Before filter in Sinatra causing a redirect loop

I have this simple code:

require 'sinatra'

before  do
  redirect '/login'
end

get '/login' do
  'hello'
end

get '/test' do
  'should not show'
end

This simple app is supposed to redirect every route, including /test to the login route. Instead, I'm getting a redirect loop.

I use the latest version of Sinatra 2.0.5.

Solution

  • You need to exclude /login route from before_filter

    before do
  redirect '/login' if request.path_info != "/login"
end
