Gitlab email confirmation redirect

Question

By default Gitlab redirects the user to the home page after email confirmation. I want to redirect off-site instead.

I don't think there is a config option for this so I'm asking how to hack it.

I found confirmations_controller.rb:

# frozen_string_literal: true

class ConfirmationsController < Devise::ConfirmationsController
  include AcceptsPendingInvitations

  def almost_there
    flash[:notice] = nil
    render layout: "devise_empty"
  end

  protected

  def after_resending_confirmation_instructions_path_for(resource)
    users_almost_there_path
  end

  def after_confirmation_path_for(resource_name, resource)
    accept_pending_invitations

    # incoming resource can either be a :user or an :email
    if signed_in?(:user)
      after_sign_in(resource)
    else
      Gitlab::AppLogger.info("Email Confirmed: username=#{resource.username} email=#{resource.email} ip=#{request.remote_ip}")
      flash[:notice] = flash[:notice] + " Please sign in."
      new_session_path(:user, anchor: 'login-pane')
    end
  end

  def after_sign_in(resource)
    after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
  end
end

How do I make it redirect me to google.com?

Answer 1

Return from the after_confirmation_path_for method. Here's an example for Google.

class ConfirmationsController < Devise::ConfirmationsController
  ...

  protected


  def after_confirmation_path_for(resource_name, resource)
    ...
    'https://www.google.com' # assuming you're redirecting to Google
  end

end
