Using the Ruby debugger

With debugger I can see the current_user here right before we send if off with a respond_to_do to the index view

(rdb:437) method iv current_user @attributes = {“encrypted_password”=>“”, “created_at”=>“2011-11-16 00:49:31”, “confirmation_sent_at”=>nil, “last_sign_in_ip”=>“192.168.5. 1”, “updated_at”=>“2011-11-18 01:09:32”, “creator”=>nil, “last_sign_in_at”=>“2011-11-18 00:58:57”, “id”=>“29”, “sign_in_count”=>“29”, “lastname”=>“xxxxxx”, “password_salt”=>“”, “reset_password_token”=>nil, “remember_token”=>nil, “current_sign_in_ip”=>“192.168.5.1”, “firstname”=>“xxxxl”, “confirmation_token”=>nil, “remember_created_at”=>nil, “current_sign_in_at”=>“2011-11-18 01:09:32”, “shortlast”=>nil, “login”=>“xxxxxx”, “email”=>“xxxxxxxxx”, “confirmed_at”=>nil} @attributes_cache = {} (rdb:437) l

respond_to do |format|
  format.html # index.html.erb
  format.xml  { render :xml => @workbenches }
end

Any idea what could cause it to be blank when the partial in the view attempts to reference it? Again this worked fine with database_authenticate??

<% if user_signed_in? %> Signed in as <%= [current_user.firstname, current_user.lastname].join(" ") %>

Is the current_user method set in the controller to be a helper_method?
