Redirect not working

Question

I have this line in my votes controller:

before_filter :authenticate

So when I vote while logged out, it should fail this filter.

Answer 1

Since the request that is causing problems is ajax try adding a check within your before_filter to whether the request is js.

if request.xhr?
    render :text => "document.location = '#{login_path}';", :layout => false
else
  redirect_to login_path, ...
end
