If current_user is an instance variable (as if you did attr_accessor :current_user), you should try: @current_user = @user
If not, you should try invoking with self: self.current_user = @user because ruby is creating a local variable named current_user instead of invoking #current_user=. When you do call self, which refers to the object itself, it will use normal method lookup, that will find your #current_user=.
