Sinatra: DB Authentication with Sessions - ruby

Question

I am writing a small sinatra application that I am integrating with Authlogic (following https://github.com/ehsanul/Sinatra-Authlogic-Template)
Everything works except for when I try to login. I get the following error:
NameError at /login
undefined local variable or method `active' for #<User:0x000001040208f0>
I am including the authlogic gem versus including it as a vendor. So my Sinatra app is not exactly the same as the one on Github.
Any and all inquiries will be MUCH appreciated!! Thanks!

Answer 1

Found out my issue.
Here is the model according to the Github page:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_authentic do |c|
# Bcrypt is recommended
#crypto_provider = Authlogic::CryptoProviders::BCrypt
c.perishable_token_valid_for( 24*60*60 )
c.validates_length_of_password_field_options =
{:on => :update, :minimum => 6, :if => :has_no_credentials?}
c.validates_length_of_password_confirmation_field_options =
{:on => :update, :minimum => 6, :if => :has_no_credentials?}
end
def active?
active
end
def has_no_credentials?
crypted_password.blank? #&& self.openid_identifier.blank?
end
def send_activation_email
Pony.mail(
:to => self.email,
:from => "no-reply#domain.tld",
:subject => "Activate your account",
:body => "You can activate your account at this link: " +
"http://domain.tld/activate/#{self.perishable_token}"
)
end
def send_password_reset_email
Pony.mail(
:to => self.email,
:from => "no-reply#domain.tld",
:subject => "Reset your password",
:body => "We have recieved a request to reset your password. " +
"If you did not send this request, then please ignore this email.\n\n" +
"If you did send the request, you may reset your password using the following link: " +
"http://domain.tld/reset-password/#{self.perishable_token}"
)
end
end
I removed all of the mail methods but my script was failing on the active? method because it was looking for an active column in the users table. Since I am unable to append this column to the table (due to data integrity with another system) I simply told my method to return true
My User.rb
class UserSession < Authlogic::Session::Base
end
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_authentic do |c|
end
def active?
return true
end
end
Hope this helps someone!
