I am trying to implement omniauth-facebook as described in Railscast #360 and have run into quite a roadblock. When I click on the signin link, I get the desired popup asking me to input my facebook credentials, but when I submit, I get an OmniAuth::Strategies::OAuth2::CallbackError error. In the apache logs, this is printed: (facebook) Authentication failure! invalid_credentials: OmniAuth::Strategies::OAuth2::CallbackError, OmniAuth::Strategies::OAuth2::CallbackError
here is the relevant code:
omniauth.rb
OmniAuth.config.logger = Rails.logger
Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
provider :facebook, ENV['FACEBOOK_APP_ID'], ENV['FACEBOOK_SECRET']
end
sessions_controller.rb
class SessionsController < ApplicationController
def create
user = User.from_omniauth(env["omniauth.auth"])
session[:user_id] = user.id
redirect_to root_url
end
def destroy
session[:user_id] = nil
redirect_to root_url
end
end
application.html.erb
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : '(**my app id**)', // App ID
status : true, // check login status
cookie : true // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
});
$('#sign_in').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
return FB.login(function(response) {
if (response.authResponse) {
return window.location = '/auth/facebook/callback';
}
});
});
return $('#sign_out').click(function(e) {
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
if (response.authResponse) {
return FB.logout();
}
});
return true;
});
};
</script>
Am I missing something simple? I've been searching for a solution for the last few days.
It seems like omniauth-facebook v1.4.1 introduced an issue with CSRF. A temporary fix is to just roll back to v1.4.0. In your Gemfile, change the omniauth-facebook line to:
gem 'omniauth-facebook', '1.4.0'
I've reported the issue: https://github.com/mkdynamic/omniauth-facebook/issues/73
