Q:

authenticate_user! hijacking the registrations/create method

The problem I'm having seems to be that Devise's authenticate_#{role}! method is hijacking my registration attempt.

I've tried overriding the after_signup_path_for(resource_or_scope) but it seems to be getting ignored.
# app/controllers/application_controller.rb
def after_sign_up_path_for(resource_or_scope)
  random_path
end

So as it stands users can't register to the site in the first place. Any ideas?

A:

Have you checked to make sure non of your routes are overriding the default devise routes/methods?
Edited by HaaR for clarity of users with similar problem:
I had the following in my config/routes.rb above my devise_for methods. 
match "client" => "wishes#index"

Which was overriding Devise's
devise_for :clients, :path => :client

By moving it below, it gives Devise priority, and still passes the get request to the appropriate controller and action without hijacking the POST requests.
