POCan't log in with a valid password using Authlogic and Ruby on Rails?
text
Body
copied!<p>We support a bit of an unusual scheme. We don't require a password on User creation, and use password_resets to add a password to the user later, on demand. The problem is, once a password is created, the console indicates the password is valid:</p> <p><code> user.valid_password? 'test'<br> => true</code></p> <p>but in my UserSessions controller, @user_session.save returns false using the same password. What am I not seeing?</p> <p>Kimball</p> <p>UPDATE:</p> <p>Providing more details, here is the output when saving the new password:</p> <p><code>Processing PasswordResetsController#update (for 127.0.0.1 at 2011-01-31 14:01:12) [PUT] Parameters: {"commit"=>"Update password", "action"=>"update", "_method"=>"put", "authenticity_token"=>"PQD4+eIREKBfHR3/fleWuQSEtZd7RIvl7khSYo5eXe0=", "id"=>"v3iWW5eD9P9frbEQDvxp", "controller"=>"password_resets", "user"=>{"password"=>"johnwayne"}}</code></p> <p>The applicable SQL is:</p> <p><code> UPDATE <code>users</code> SET <code>updated_at</code> = '2011-01-31 22:01:12',<br> <code>crypted_password</code> = 'blah',<br> <code>perishable_token</code> = 'blah',<br> <code>password_salt</code> = 'blah',<br> <code>persistence_token</code> = 'blah'<br> WHERE <code>id</code> = 580 <p>I don't see an error per se, @user_session.save just returns false, as if the password didn't match.</p> <p>I skip validating passwords in the User model:</p> <p><code>class User < ActiveRecord::Base<br> acts_as_authentic do |c|<br> c.validate_password_field = false<br> end </code></p> <p>Here's the simplified controller code:</p> <p><code> def create<br> logger.info("SAVED SESSION? #{@user_session.save}")<br> end </code></p> <p>which outputs:</p> <p><code> Processing UserSessionsController#create (for 127.0.0.1 at 2011-01-31 14:16:59) [POST]<br> Parameters: {"commit"=>"Login", "user_session"=>{"remember_me"=>"0", "password"=>"johnwayne", "email"=>"test@email.com"}, "action"=>"create", "authenticity_token"=>"PQD4+eIREKBfHR3/fleWuQSEtZd7RIvl7khSYo5eXe0=", "controller"=>"user_sessions"}<br> User Columns (2.2ms) SHOW FIELDS FROM <code>users</code><br> User Load (3.7ms) SELECT * FROM <code>users</code> WHERE (<code>users</code>.<code>email</code> = 'test@email.com') ORDER BY email ASC LIMIT 1<br> SAVED SESSION? false<br> CACHE (0.0ms) SELECT * FROM <code>users</code> WHERE (<code>users</code>.<code>email</code> = 'test@email.com') ORDER BY email ASC LIMIT 1<br> Redirected to <a href="http://localhost:3000/login" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:3000/login</a> </code></p> <p>Lastly, the console indicates that the new password is valid:</p> <p> $ u.valid_password? 'johnwayne'<br> => true<br> </code></p> <p>Would love to do it all in the console, is there a way to load UserSession controller and call methods directly?</p> <p>Kimball</p>
