How to redirect to root_path if Devise sign in fails?

Question

Like once I'm ON sign_in page - I just want to sign in. But if it fails - I wanna get to the root path.

Right now my monkey patch is:

class Candidate::SessionsController < Devise::SessionsController
  def new
    if flash[:alert].present?
      redirect_to root_path, alert: flash[:alert]
    else
      render 'new', layout: false
    end
  end
end

But I want do it the right way; this is ugly.

Note that link-only answers are discouraged, SO answers should be the end-point of a search for a solution (vs. yet another stopover of references, which tend to get stale over time). Please consider adding a stand-alone synopsis here, keeping the link as a reference. – Bob Gilmore Feb 25 '14 at 15:24
