Any idea why this is happening?

  1. No The issue was mixed with this

    I declared few variables (devise specific) in application controller (to use devise as ajax mode) as follows:

    def resource_name @resource_name ||= :user end

      def resource
        if current_user
          @resource = current_user
        else
          @resource ||= User.new
        end
      end
    
      def devise_mapping
        @devise_mapping ||= Devise.mappings[:user]
      end
    

    Hence the issue was.
