`redirect_to` cannot be called from `navigation_location` method

I'm having this issue as well, fresh install of devise 4.7.3 on a newly generated Rails 6.1.1 app.

Placing your override redirect_to method into ApplicationController fixed for me, thank you!

Maybe there is something in the app making redirect_to private? The method is public in the framework and in the responders gem. Can you try to check the method(:redirect_to).source_location inside that controller?

@rafaelfranca it is calling ActionController::Flash#redirect_to. We've debugged the issue here, with a few solutions and reproducible code: https://stackoverflow.com/a/71988972/207090

I think this is more of a configuration issue. Try not to use Flash inside API controller. Or could be a bug, not sure who's.

When using ActionController::Base, redirect_to method calls Instrumentation#redirect_to first. But when including ActionController::Flash in an api controller, it is included after Instrumentation and sometimes it doesn't like that.
