Authlogic::Session::Activation::NotActivatedError


Using authlogic gem to validate user log in in the browser but getting "Your account in not active error" I have tried all the solutions I could find over the web but none of them seem to work.

Calling the command Authlogic::Session::Base.controller = Authlogic::ControllerAdapters::RailsAdapter.new(controller) before creating a session solves the problem at least in irb.

Doing the same in the UserSessionsController dosent get you anywhere. I have tried calling the before_action :activate_authlogic in the UserSessionsController while the definition for the said function was placed in application_controller.rb

Here is my code

user_sessions_controller.rb

class   UserSessionsController < ApplicationController
  def new
    @user_session = UserSession.new
  end

  def create
    @user_session = UserSession.new(user_session_params.to_h)
    if @user_session.save
      redirect_to root_url
    else
      render :action => :new
    end
  end

  def destroy
    current_user_session.destroy
    redirect_to new_user_session_url
  end

  private

  def user_session_params
    params.require(:user_session).permit(:login, :password, :remember_me)
  end

end

user_session.rb

class UserSession < Authlogic::Session::Base
end

application_controller.rb

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  helper_method :current_user_session, :current_user

  private
    def current_user_session
      return @current_user_session if defined?(@current_user_session)
      @current_user_session = UserSession.find
    end

    def current_user
      return @current_user if defined?(@current_user)
      @current_user = current_user_session && current_user_session.user
    end

    # def activate_authlogic
    #   Authlogic::Session::Base.controller = Authlogic::ControllerAdapters::RailsAdapter.new(self)
    # end
end

user.rb

class User < ApplicationRecord
  has_one :user_profile

  acts_as_authentic do |c|
    c.crypto_provider = ::Authlogic::CryptoProviders::SCrypt
  end

  validates :email,
    format: {
      with: /@/,
      message: "should look like an email address."
    },
    length: { maximum: 100 },
    uniqueness: {
      case_sensitive: false,
      if: :will_save_change_to_email?
    }

  validates :login,
    format: {
      with: /\A[a-z0-9]+\z/,
      message: "should use only letters and numbers."
    },
    length: { within: 8..100 },
    uniqueness: {
      case_sensitive: false,
      if: :will_save_change_to_login?
    }

  validates :password,
    confirmation: { if: :require_password? },
    length: {
      minimum: 8,
      if: :require_password?
    }
  validates_presence_of :password_confirmation
    length: {
      minimum: 8,
      if: :require_password?
  }
end

and just in case

routes.rb

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  # For details on the DSL available within this file, see https://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html
  root "home_page#index"
  get "/home", to: "home_page#index"

  resources :users do
    resource :user_profile
  end

  resource :user_session
end

i did think it was a bug so i updated the authlogic gem to 6.4.1 from 6.4.0. Needless to say it didn't help either.

and here is

migration table

class CreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration[6.1]
  def change
    create_table :users do |t|
      # Authlogic::ActsAsAuthentic::Email
      t.string    :email
      t.index     :email, unique: true

      # Authlogic::ActsAsAuthentic::Login
      t.string    :login

      # Authlogic::ActsAsAuthentic::Password
      t.string    :crypted_password
      t.string    :password_salt

      # Authlogic::ActsAsAuthentic::PersistenceToken
      t.string    :persistence_token
      t.index     :persistence_token, unique: true

      # Authlogic::ActsAsAuthentic::SingleAccessToken
      t.string    :single_access_token
      t.index     :single_access_token, unique: true

      # Authlogic::ActsAsAuthentic::PerishableToken
      t.string    :perishable_token
      t.index     :perishable_token, unique: true

      # See "Magic Columns" in Authlogic::Session::Base
      t.integer   :login_count, default: 0, null: false
      t.integer   :failed_login_count, default: 0, null: false
      t.datetime  :last_request_at
      t.datetime  :current_login_at
      t.datetime  :last_login_at
      t.string    :current_login_ip
      t.string    :last_login_ip

      # See "Magic States" in Authlogic::Session::Base
      t.boolean   :active, default: false
      t.boolean   :approved, default: false
      t.boolean   :confirmed, default: false

      t.timestamps
    end
  end
end

Solution

  • Your account in not active error that's because your migration file added Magic States fields:

    # See "Magic States" in Authlogic::Session::Base
    t.boolean   :active, default: false
    t.boolean   :approved, default: false
    t.boolean   :confirmed, default: false
    

    That means you have to set those fields to true before you can log a user in.

    So you could remove those fields in a new migration if you don't need them.

    def change
      change_table :users do |t|
        t.remove :title, :active
        t.remove :title, :approved
        t.remove :title, :confirmed
      end
    end
