Deployment on heroku: alias_method 'current_user' undefined

[raddrick]

The integration works fine in development, but this is preventing my app from starting in heroku

I see that the codebase does define current user in the controller, but it seems to be breaking during the startup of the app after the build.

I am using devise 4.6.2, rails 5.2, ruby 2.6.0

I do see it in https://github.com/rails-engine/notifications/blob/master/app/controllers/notifications/application_controller.rb I am using the defaults for current_user and authenticate_user!

could it be that it is getting loaded before devise?
