turbolinks - Preventing flash from loading on undesired pages while using Rails and Turbo Links -

i have problem flash message lingering on pages don't want appear on.

i'm using rails 4 turbo links.

while turbo links, think might problem here.

in rails controller i'm setting desire flash follows:

def show      if item.status == "in progress" || item.status == "draft"             flash[:alert] = "please remember: status of text draft. have been granted access through generosity of editor. please use comments make suggestions or corrections."      end  end 

but then, when click link , turbo links responsively loads new page, flash appears again.

any ideas how prevent while continuing use turbolinks

you can either clear flash message in before_action in application controller in application_controller.rb

before_action :clear_flash  def clear_flash   flash.discard end 

or use change code to:

def show  if item.status == "in progress" || item.status == "draft"         flash.now[:alert] = "please remember: status of text draft. have been granted access through generosity of editor. please use comments make suggestions or corrections."  end     end
