I've a method called cama_current_user provided by a Gem Camaleon CMS which is used all over inside the Gem. Now I'm using this Gem with my application where I need to override the method `cama_current_user' by doing something like this,

  def cama_current_user
    @current_user
  end

I've added this method inside ApplicationController, ApplicationHelper and even added a new module like this,

module CamaleonCms::SessionHelper
  def cama_current_user
    @current_user
  end
end

but none of these methods are invoking during the execution. So How can I override the existing method definition provided by the Gem.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.Thank you !!

define the module under `config/initializers` folder – Andrey Deineko Jun 05 '17 at 12:15
thanks but the variable I'm setting inside method is dynamic variable, and will be changed with user signin and signout. – Bibek Sharma Jun 05 '17 at 12:16
it does not matter as long as `@current_user` is defined. Putting it into `initializers` will make sure Rails will load the code and use it it in the first place. – Andrey Deineko Jun 05 '17 at 12:18
not working :(, I've added module inside `initializers` and added `binding.pry` inside it, but it is still not invoking. – Bibek Sharma Jun 05 '17 at 12:28
restarted server? – Andrey Deineko Jun 05 '17 at 12:28
