Globalize 3 on production server not working - ruby-on-rails-3

I am trying to use Globalize3 gem for model translations to Active Record i.e. internationalization for database. After going through the documentation, I was able to implement it successfully on local server in both development and production environment.
But when i try to implement it on a production Server, it fails. It shows absurd behavior, i.e. it works and sometime doesn't.
Trying to set locale via user input.
Using this below function to set locale.
def set_language
if params[:locale]
I18n.default_locale = params[:locale]
end
redirect_to :back
end
link to globalize3 gem documentation

You're only setting the fallback locale with that code. It'll probably help to adjust the current locale, too, as in
def set_language
if params[:locale]
I18n.default_locale = params[:locale]
I18n.locale = params[:locale]
end
redirect_to :back
end

Intermittent OmniAuth errors authenticating against Google

When trying to authenticate using Omniauth, it works flawlessly in my development environment (Mac OSX Mavericks), but fails most of the time in production (on Heroku). The errors vary between "Invalid Credentials" and "Connection failed". In all cases, I'm already logged in to my Google account. I may get one or another of these errors anywhere between 4 and 8 times before the process succeeds.
Has anyone see this and can you shed some light on why this might be happening?
Gem: oa_openid (0.3.2)
config/routes.rb:
...
resource :admin_session, only: %w(show create destroy)
match '/auth/googleapps/callback' => 'admin_sessions#create'
...
config/omniauth.rb:
require 'openid/store/filesystem'
Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Strategies::GoogleApps,
OpenID::Store::Filesystem.new('./tmp'),
name: 'googleapps', domain: 'booktrakr.com'
admin_sessions_controller:
class AdminSessionsController < ApplicationController
# GET /admin_sessions
def show
redirect_to "/auth/googleapps?origin=#{params[:origin] || request.fullpath}" and return unless is_admin?
#session = authenticated_admin
end
# POST /admin_sessions
def create
authinfo = request.env['omniauth.auth']
uid = authinfo['uid']
unless uid =~ %r(^https?://(groundbreakingsoftware|booktrakr).com/openid)
raise "Bad hacker, no cookie"
end
self.authenticated_admin = authinfo
redirect_to request.env['omniauth.origin'], notice: 'Session was successfully created.'
end
# DELETE /admin_sessions
def destroy
self.authenticated_admin = nil
redirect_to root_url
end
end
It appears that switching to OAuth2 (https://github.com/zquestz/omniauth-google-oauth2) resolved the problem, at least at first blush. Thanks, #Ashitaka!

Rails Omniauth-github (422) The change you wanted was rejected

I have had this solution for Omniauth & Github implemented and working fine but sometime in the last few months it stopped working.
The error I'm getting when I try to login is: (422) The change you wanted was rejected.
Specifically in the Heroku logs I'm seeing:
ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid (Validation failed: Password can't be blank):
app/models/user.rb:18:in `create_from_omniauth'
app/models/user.rb:14:in `from_omniauth'
app/controllers/sessions_controller.rb:4:in `create'
Do I need to save the credentials when I create the user?
My user model:
def self.from_omniauth(auth)
where(auth.slice("provider", "uid")).first || create_from_omniauth(auth)
end
def self.create_from_omniauth(auth)
create! do |user|
user.provider = auth["provider"]
user.uid = auth["uid"]
user.name = auth["info"]["nickname"]
user.email = auth["info"]["email"]
user.image = auth["info"]["image"]
end
end
Sessions controller:
class SessionsController < ApplicationController
def create
user = User.from_omniauth(env["omniauth.auth"])
session[:user_id] = user.id
redirect_to root_url, notice: "Signed in!"
end
def destroy
session[:user_id] = nil
redirect_to root_url, notice: "Signed out!"
end
end
Facebook's omniauth error "the change you wanted was rejected"
might appear because of your validations set in the model. I had to refactor my validation for users having one unique email, which wasn't working when a user would try to facebook login with the same email.
Look at your logs. heroku logs -t
It looks like you're either validating presence of the password field in your User model or using has_secure_password, which does that under the covers.
If you're doing that validation yourself, you can just add a clause like :if => :password_changed? to the validation.
If you're using has_secure_password, it depends which version of Rails you're using. Any version with these two changes (I believe only Rails 4) support passing a validations: false option to has_secure_password. Otherwise, there's not really a good solution, other than maybe setting a random dummy password when you create the user then letting them change it immediately.
I had this issue when the time on my gitlab server was out of sync, i restarted ntpd, which corrected the time on the server and the problem was resolved

Changing devise flash messages from notice to error

I know that you can override the default devise controllers and I did so for the Registrations and Sessions Controller. I know that you can also change the text for the flash messages in devise under locale. However, I am not sure how to change the type of flash message showing for the sessions controller when there is an invalid combination of username and password.
The create method looks like
def create
self.resource = warden.authenticate!(auth_options)
set_flash_message(:notice, :signed_in) if is_navigational_format?
sign_in(resource_name, resource)
respond_with resource, :location => after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
end
I suspect that the validation is done during the follow call
warden.authenticate!(auth_options)
But this is where I am not sure how to overwrite that in my app.
Also, I think it is a complex override for such a simple use case of changing the color of a flash notice.
Any insights would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Nick
You can do it with custom failure app. As you can see this flash message is setting right here So you can change it in your custom failure app.
So at first you inherit your failure app from Devise's one:
class CustomFailure < Devise::FailureApp
def recall
env["PATH_INFO"] = attempted_path
flash.now[:error] = i18n_message(:invalid)
self.response = recall_app(warden_options[:recall]).call(env)
end
end
place this file somewhere in your app and say Devise to use it like this (config/initializers/devise.rb):
config.warden do |manager|
manager.failure_app = CustomFailure
end

Why won't Devise allow unconfirmed users to login even when allow_unconfirmed_access_for is set?

We have an existing user base and are adding email confirmation. Confirmation is optional but will allow additional features. Users are not required to confirm. I've added the confirmable module and ran migrations. Confirmation works as advertised.
But, users cannot log in since they are not confirmed. All current users have nil confirmation values, which is what we want (users can go back and confirm their email at any time). I've followed all the Devise wiki articles and set allow_unconfirmed_access_for in the initializer:
config.allow_unconfirmed_access_for = 10.years
I've also tried setting it in our user model as well:
devise :confirmable, allow_unconfirmed_access_for: 10.years
I've also tried using other values (1.year, 500.days, etc.)
My SessionsController, which does not differ much from Devise's method (here on github)
class Users::SessionsController < Devise::SessionsController
respond_to :json
def new
redirect_to "/#login"
end
def create
resource = warden.authenticate(auth_options)
if !resource
render json: {error: "Invalid email or password" }, status: 401 and return
end
sign_in(resource_name, resource)
render "sign_in", formats: [:json], locals: { object: resource }
end
end
Devise's the response:
{"error": "You have to confirm your account before continuing."}
Devise 2.1.2 with Rails 3.2.9.
The Devise team have released a version (2.2.4) that supports nil as a valid value for allow_unconfirmed_access_for, meaning no limit. Issue: https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/issues/2275
You can now do:
config.allow_unconfirmed_access_for = nil
I simply needed to do this in my User model, instead of using allow_unconfirmed_access_for:
protected
def confirmation_required?
false
end
I've got the same issue: after turning on devise confirmations previously created accounts are unable to login.
The reason is here:
def confirmation_period_valid?
self.class.allow_unconfirmed_access_for.nil? || (confirmation_sent_at && confirmation_sent_at.utc >= self.class.allow_unconfirmed_access_for.ago)
end
Old accounts have confirmation_sent_at set to nil, that's why they are unable to log in.
One solution is to force confirmation_sent_at like that:
update users set confirmation_sent_at=created_at where confirmation_sent_at is NULL;
You can do it manually, or create a migration.

Failing to test Devise with Capybara

I'm building a Rails 3 app using Devise, with Capybara for UI testing. The following test is failing:
class AuthenticationTest < ActionController::IntegrationTest
def setup
#user = User.create!(:email => 'test#example.com',
:password => 'testtest',
:password_confirmation => 'testtest')
#user.save!
Capybara.reset_sessions!
end
test "sign_in" do
# this proves the user exists in the database ...
assert_equal 1, User.count
assert_equal 'test#example.com', User.first.email
# ... but we still can't log in ...
visit '/users/sign_in'
assert page.has_content?('Sign in')
fill_in :user_email, :with => 'test#example.com'
fill_in :user_password, :with => 'testtest'
click_button('user_submit')
# ... because this test fails
assert page.has_content?('Signed in successfully.')
end
end
... but I have no idea why. As you can see from the code, the user is being created in the database; I'm using the same approach to create the user as I did in seeds.rb.
If I run the test through the debugger, I can see the user in the database and verify that the page is loading. But still the authentication fails; I can verify this because if I change the assertion to test for the failure case, the test passes:
# verify that the authentication actually failed
assert page.has_content?('Invalid email or password.')
I'm used to Rails 2, & using Selenium for this sort of testing, so I suspect I'm doing something daft. Could someone please point me in the right direction here?
I was having the same issue and found a thread with a solution:
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.use_transactional_fixtures = false
config.before(:suite) do
DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :truncation
end
config.before(:each) do
DatabaseCleaner.start
end
config.after(:each) do
DatabaseCleaner.clean
end
end
For the DatabaseCleaner stuff to work you'll need to include the database_cleaner gem. If you haven't used it before, you may need to rake db:test:prepare before rerunning your tests. I hope this works for you, too!
I've run into a similar problem before. Setting the password directly has some weird effects because it's supposed to be encrypted and stored with a salt--sometimes it works for me and other times it doesn't. I have a hard time remembering which specific cases were problematic. I'd recommend the following, in this order (for simplicity)
Verify that the password field is getting filled in properly and passed as the right param (not necessary if you're using Devise's autogenerated view and haven't touched it)
if your site can run in development mode (i.e. no log in bugs), then just boot it up and log in manually
If not, insert debugger as the first line in your sessions_controller. Then check params and make sure the password is correct and in params[:user][:password].
If you didn't override Devise's sessions_controller, then you can find your Devise path with bundle show devise. Then look for the create action within (devise path)/app/controllers/devise/sessions_controller.rb
Change your test setup to create a user through the web interface, to ensure the password gets set properly, then try running your test again
I had the same issue with a setup fairly similar to yours. In my case, switching to ActiveRecord sessions in the initializer solved the problem.
Additionally, make sure you call #user.skip_confirmation! if you are using the "confirmable" module in devise.
