I've been following the Sorcery tutorial to build simple password authentication for a new (blank) Rails app. I've followed it very closely except for translating the erb to haml as I go along.
Everything has worked fine except that when testing the logout function it throws an error that seems to stump Google (see title).
The application trace shows only
app/controllers/user_sessions_controller.rb:16:in `destroy'
highlighting the logout line in user_sessions_controller.rb:
def destroy
logout
redirect_to(:users, notice: 'Logged out!')
end
I'll dump the framework trace below (it means very little to me) and am very happy to provide further information if you let me know what would be helpful. Generic advice on how to debug this kind of error would also be welcome.

I am using a locale :cn which is not recognized by EasyTranslate. I am trying to create the if in the controller such as:
def index
#events = Events.all
if I18n.locale == :cn
#locale = ":zh-CN"
else
#locale = I18n.locale
end
end
so that I can use the following in my view:
<%= check_box_tag "by_cities[]", city %> <%= EasyTranslate.translate(city, :to => #locale, :key => #key) %>
BUt I get an EasyTranslate:EasyTranslateException in Event#index Invalid Value
How can i get EasyTranslate to take the new locale just for this method please?
Thank you

Very simple actually :
In the controller :
if I18n.locale == :cn
#locale ="zh-CN"
else
#locale = (":"+ (I18n.locale).to_s)
end
In the view:
<%= check_box_tag "by_cities[]", city %> <%= EasyTranslate.translate(city, :to => #locale, :key => #key) %>
I am working with Ruby 2.3.3, Rails 5.1.5 and using the RubyMine (JetBrains) IDE and I am working the gon gem to send data to javascript. In my application.html.erb I am setting the <%= include_gon %> in the head (as specified by the gon documentation) and I am getting the illegal/malformed utf-8 exception. I ran this same code on C9 with Ruby 2.4.1 and Rails 5.1.4 with no error.

I have been searching all over the internet for a solution but this dilemma seems to be localized to me. Also, the GemFile does have the gem 'gon' line and I performed a bundle install and update. I have also tried to run this locally on Ruby 2.4.3 and the same error persists. Please help.
I'm new to ruby on rails and currently working on a web application which uses the 'rspotify' gem to interact with the Spotify API.
I have a controller called 'genre' which I use to direct my search results from the index page. However, it won't let me initialize any variables inside the index function.
This is what my controller looks like
# genre_controller.rb
def index
if params[:search]
#genres = RSpotify::Recommendations.generate(limit: 20, seed_genres: ['country'])
# render :json => #songs
else
redirect_to root_path
end
end
This is what my my index page looks like
<h1>Genre#index</h1>
<p>Find me in app/views/genre/index.html.erb</p>
<h1 class="page-header">Music Matching <%= params[:search] %></h1>
<ul>
<% #music.each do |music| %>
<li><%= music.name %> | <%= link_to "Show", genre_path(music.id) %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
This is what my routes look like
get 'genre/index'
get 'genre/show', to:'genre#show', as: 'genre'
get 'site/index'
root 'site#index'
I get an error on line 4 of my genre controller, where I call the RSpotify method. Any variable I try to instantiate there returns a NoErrorMethod.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Edit:
Here's the exception I get from the console
NoMethodError (undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass):
app/controllers/genre_controller.rb:4:in `index'

I got a similar error as above when I tried to connect to the Spotify API. The documentation on rspotify missed out the fact that you need to run the authenticate method before you do anything with the API.
i.e.
RSpotify.authenticate("<your_client_id>", "<your_client_secret>")
I keep bumping into exception errors that I believe are due to conflicts from reserved keywords.
For example, I have a permit model with the attribute "gross_value" When my view tries to retrieve #permit.gross_value I get the following exception error. However, when I rename the attribute to #permit.value_gross (without changing anything else) the view works fine. I've had similar issues with other attribute names.
Is my diagnosis of the reason for the exception correct? How do I know what keywords to avoid this issue?
UPDATE: In the console when I try to access the attribute "total_weight" from the "permit" model e.g. "Permit.first.total_weight" I get a "stack level too deep" error message. When I rename the attribute from "total_weight" to "total_weigh" it works fine e.g. "Permit.first.total_weigh".
After renaming the attribute I still get the stack level too deep error message when trying to access "Permit.first.total_weight", which is curious because now the attribute does not exist so I expect to get a "undefined method" error as I do with other models e.g. "User.first.total_weight."
For now I am fine to make do with renaming my attribute to "total_weigh" - this has resolved the issue and everything is running smoothly. I'm just curious as to the reasoning and whether my diagnosis of a reserved keyword conflict is correct?

Thanks for your help!

Are you doing any recursive calls in your code? This error usually means that you have re-entered a recursive call in your code.
Check your callbacks(i.e. before_save, before_validation etc.), if you have any, as these are common places where this can occur.
I've created a class method inside my Post model like so:
def self.target_for_link
if #post.url == nil
puts "_blank"
else
puts ""
end
end
And I'm calling it from my controller like this:
#target = Post.target_for_link
Yet, I'm getting a No Method error (undefined method target_for_link) with this. What am I doing wrong?

I can't say why do you have this particular error, but your method is weird. Do you understand differences between class and instance methods?
It's a class method, yet you use #port attribute as if the state mattered. Didn't you want to do something like
def target_for_link
if self.url == nil # you could actually ommit `self.` part here
puts "_blank"
else
puts ""
end
end
and then in controller
#post = Post.find(1)
#target = #post.target_for_link
And one more thing: why do you use puts there? I can't guess. But I think you want to return the value "_blank" or "" depending on the post url and you do it like this:
def target_for_link
if url == nil
"_blank"
else
""
end
end
Otherwise you would be returning the result of calling puts method which is nil.
