Clearance failure when forbidden password reset - clearance

Question

I’m using clearance and love it, but I'm having trouble resetting passwords. I type in my email to reset the password, which works, but then when I try to navigate to the edit password page using the reset token, I get the failure when forbidden flash error “Please double check the URL or try submitting the form again” and it redirects me back. I get the same error in my tests.
I think this has something to do with my before_action statements, but I just don’t know how to fix them. I have researched questions like this to no avail.
I'm sure it's a stupid question, but I'm new so I really appreciate any help. Please let me know if this isn't enough code.
class UsersController < Clearance::UsersController
before_action :require_login, only: [:create] # does this need to be in both user controllers?
...
def user_params
params.require(:user)
end
end
And here is the clearance controller.
class Clearance::UsersController < ApplicationController
before_action :require_login, only: [:create]
require 'will_paginate/array'
def new
#user = user_from_params
render template: 'users/new'
end
def create
#user = user_from_params
#user.regenerate_password
if #user.save
sign_in #user unless current_user
UserMailer.welcome_email(#user).deliver!
redirect_to users_path
else
render template: 'users/new'
end
end
def edit
#user = User.friendly.find(params[:id])
end
def update
#user = User.friendly.find(params[:id])
if #user.update(permit_params)
redirect_to #user
flash[:success] = "This profile has been updated."
else
render 'edit'
end
end
private
def avoid_sign_in
redirect_to Clearance.configuration.redirect_url
end
def url_after_create(user)
dashboards_path(user)
end
def user_from_params
user_params = params[:user] || Hash.new
is_public = check_public_params(user_params)
first_name = user_params.delete(:first_name)
last_name = user_params.delete(:last_name)
email = user_params.delete(:email)
password = user_params.delete(:password)
parish = user_params.delete(:parish)
division = user_params.delete(:division)
admin = user_params.delete(:admin)
Clearance.configuration.user_model.new(user_params).tap do |user|
user.first_name = first_name
user.last_name = last_name
user.password = password
user.email = email
user.is_public = is_public
user.parish_id = parish.to_i
user.division = division
user.admin = admin
end
end
def permit_params
params.require(:user).permit(:first_name, :last_name, :email, :password, :is_public, :parish_id, :division, :admin)
end
end
EDIT: relevant portions of routes.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do
resources :passwords, controller: "clearance/passwords", only: [:create, :new]
resource :session, controller: "clearance/sessions", only: [:create]
resources :users, controller: "clearance/users", only: [:create] do
resource :password,
controller: "clearance/passwords",
only: [:create, :edit, :update]
end
get "/sign_in" => "clearance/sessions#new", as: "sign_in"
delete "/sign_out" => "clearance/sessions#destroy", as: "sign_out"
get "/sign_up" => "clearance/users#new", as: "sign_up"
constraints Clearance::Constraints::SignedOut.new do
root to: 'high_voltage/pages#show', id: 'landing'
end
constraints Clearance::Constraints::SignedIn.new do
# root to: 'dashboards#index', as: :signed_in_root

end
# constraints Clearance::Constraints::SignedIn.new { |user| user.admin? } do
# root to: 'teams#index', as: :admin_root
# end
resources :users do
collection { post :import }
end

It turns out there was a conflict between the way I was finding the user instance in the password reset link. Clearance finds users simply by using #user, but since I'm using FriendlyId I needed to change that to #user.id.
So instead of...
<%= link_to 'Change My Password', edit_user_password_url(#user, token: #user.confirmation_token.html_safe) %>
I did
<%= link_to 'Change My Password', edit_user_password_url(#user.id, token: #user.confirmation_token.html_safe) %>
Thanks, Thoughbot, for this great gem!
