i'm working on new rails 5 (rc1) app. used authlogic user authentication, , works great always, until got actioncable.
#app/channels/application_cable/connection.rb module applicationcable class connection < actioncable::connection::base identified_by :current_user def connect self.current_user = usersession.find end end end i error: must activate authlogic::session::base.controller controller object before creating objects
i tried:
authlogic::session::base.controller = authlogic::controlleradapters::railsadapter.new(self) but not work because connection class not controller.
i @ authlogic code, can't figure out how bypass dependence on controller object. need load user's session. thoughts?
i figured out on own. feel sort of hacky, in applicationcontroller set secure cookie authlogic persistence_token, can read token , manually load user in actioncable.
class applicationcontroller < actioncontroller::base before_action :set_verify_cookie def set_verify_cookie #action cable needs way outside of controller logic lookup user return unless current_user cookies.signed[:vvc] = current_user.persistence_token end end #app/channels/connection.rb module applicationcable class connection < actioncable::connection::base identified_by :current_user def connect self.current_user = find_verified_user logger.add_tags 'actioncable', self.current_user.username unless self.current_user.nil? end protected def find_verified_user_or_guest user.find_by(:persistence_token => cookies.signed[:vvc]) end end one potential gotch, cookie needs cleared on logout or actioncable still find user on subsequent page loads.
#app/controllers/user_sessions_controller.rb class usersessionscontroller < applicationcontroller def destroy cookies.signed[:vvc] = nil current_user_session.destroy flash[:success] = "logout successful!" redirect_to root_url end end
