Redirect after a particular action

Question

I have been facing some problems with mailboxer gem . The reply and trash specifically , the messages are replied to and when selected to delete are sent to trash too but i haven't able to successfully redirect it to the inbox after it does so . I always keep getting the error "Cannot find user with id" Following is my controller code for the trash part -

  def trash

      conversation = Conversation.find(params[:id])

      beta = current_userA || current_userB

         case beta

          when current_userA

            conversation.move_to_trash(current_userA)

            # redirect_to :conversations

          when current_userB

           conversation.move_to_trash(current_userB)

           # redirect_to :conversations

         end



    respond_to do |format|      
       format.html { redirect_to conversation_path, notice: 'Conversation successfully trashed.' }        
    end

end

Please do advice what i am doing wrong , i have been at it since a day and i haven't found any solution to it .Needless to say , userA and userB are both different devise users. Any suggestions on it is most welcome .

Why are redirects commented out? What is the exact exception message (please COPY & PASTE it)? In which line do you get an error, I don't se any `User.find` in here...? — Mike Szyndel, Aug 27 '14 at 14:28
@Michal I will definitely post the error tomorrow as currently I don't have access to my machine . Until then can you please post your answer where exactly should I write the user.find code — , Aug 27 '14 at 15:21
I can't give you an answer without looking at the code. And the code above is incomplete apparently. — Mike Szyndel, Aug 27 '14 at 16:00
@MichalSzyndel This is the controller code for trash , please do let me know what else do you need . — , Aug 28 '14 at 04:42
you realise where this redirects to? `format.html { redirect_to :conversation }` — Mike Szyndel, Aug 28 '14 at 06:34
yes , it redirects to the conversations index where basically the inbox is . — , Aug 28 '14 at 06:34
No, it redirects to _a_ conversation, without id specified. It should say `redirect_to :conversations`. It would be a good practice for you to write `redirect_to conversations_path` so if you make a typo, it will warn you. — Mike Szyndel, Aug 28 '14 at 06:40
@MichalSzyndel I added in the code and updated the same as suggested by Avishek below but it still shows the same error . — , Aug 28 '14 at 06:47
@MichalSzyndel - Please see the updated log , stumbled upon a new error which i think is the cause . — , Aug 28 '14 at 07:03

Try to use a path in redirect, which you can get from rake_routes. Maybe the example given below will work for you.

respond_to do |format|
    format.html { redirect_to inbox_path, notice: 'Conversation successfully trashed.' }    
end
