Here’s how my Friday night is going:

def signin
if should_not_sign_user_in?(stuff)
return redirect_to :nope
end
# signin logic
end

The guard says I shouldn’t sign the user in. It logs the details of why. I read the logs; they’re all correct. It logs the return value, which is false, and the user gets signed in anyway.

Wat.

There’s a return and a redirect there!

This is only happening on the QA server, too, so something fishy is going on.

    Yes, yes, bad negatives.
    It’s pseudocode for simplicity’s sake. Deal!

    There's nothing more fucking infuriating than trying to debug a page only for it to ZOOOM you off into redirect land.

    Wish browsers had a "ignore redirect" option in their network tools.

    @AlgoRythm you can block a specific redirect request after it has been logged in the network tab
