ruby on rails 3 - current_user method with devise from the console -

rails 3.2.18 devise pry-rails gem (which installs pry) pry-doc gem 

i started rails console:

rails c 

then logged in:

then logged in:

[13] pry(main)> applicationcontroller.allow_forgery_protection = false => false [14] pry(main)> app.post('/sign_in', {"user"=>{"login"=>"p3.rails.production@gmail.com", "password"=>"vw#98052"}}) => 302 

302 means logged in, means can call:

[15] pry(main)> app.controller.current_user 

but getting following response:

nomethoderror: undefined method `current_user' #<devise::failureapp:0x000000094e33c0> (pry):13:in `__pry__'  [16] pry(main)> app.session 

gives me:

=> {"flash"=>   #<actiondispatch::flash::flashhash:0x00000009509598    @closed=false,    @flashes={:alert=>"you need sign in or sign before continuing."},    @now=nil,    @used=#<set: {}>>}
