I have a rails 4.2 multi-tenant app using the Apartment gem which has been awesome.
Each company has their own subdomain. I'm using a custom "elevator" which looks at the full request host to determine which "Tenant" should be loaded.
When I create a new company I have an after_create hook to create the new tenant with the proper request host.
This always seems to require a restart of the server both in development and production otherwise I get a Tenant Not Found error.
It's using sqlite in development and postgres in production.
Do I really have to restart the server each time I create a new tenant? Is there an automated way to do this? Maybe just reloading the initializer will work, but I'm not sure how to do that/if that's possible?
I have been messing around with this for a month and haven't been able to find a solution that works. Please help!
initializers/apartment.rb
require 'apartment/elevators/host_hash'
config.tenant_names = lambda { Company.pluck :request_host }
Rails.application.config.middleware.use 'Apartment::Elevators::HostHash', Company.full_hosts_hash
initializers/host_hash.rb
require 'apartment/elevators/generic'
module Apartment
module Elevators
class HostHash < Generic
def initialize(app, hash = {}, processor = nil)
super app, processor
#hash = hash
end
def parse_tenant_name(request)
if request.host.split('.').first == "www"
nil
else
raise TenantNotFound,
"Cannot find tenant for host #{request.host}" unless #hash.has_key?(request.host)
#hash[request.host]
end
end
end
end
end
Company Model
after_create :create_tenant
def self.full_hosts_hash
Company.all.inject(Hash.new) do |hash, company|
hash[company.request_host] = company.request_host
hash
end
end
private
def create_tenant
Apartment::Tenant.create(request_host)
end
What ended up working
I changed the elevator configuration to get away from the HostHash one that's in the apartment gem and used a completely custom one. Mostly based off of an issue on the apartment gem github: https://github.com/influitive/apartment/issues/280
initializers/apartment.rb
Rails.application.config.middleware.use 'BaseSite::BaseElevator'
app/middleware/base_site.rb
require 'apartment/elevators/generic'
module BaseSite
class BaseElevator < Apartment::Elevators::Generic
def parse_tenant_name(request)
company = Company.find_by_request_host(request.host)
return company.request_host unless company.nil?
fail StandardError, "No website found at #{request.host} not found"
end
end
end
I think the problem could be that your host_hash.rb lives in the initializers directory. Shouldn't it be in a folder called "middleware"?, as per the Apartment gem ReadME you referenced in your comment. In that example they used app/middleware/my_custom_elevator.rb. Perhaps yours might look like app/middleware/host_hash.rb?
Right now the file is in initializers, so it's loading from there. But your apartment.rb references it by Rails.application.config.middleware.use. Just a hunch but in addition to loading it initially, it may be looking for it in a nonexistent middleware folder. I'd go ahead and create app/middleware, put the file in there instead, and see what happens. Not sure but you might need to alter require paths too.
Let us know if that helps.

Let's say we have Users (who can create Doorkeeper::Applications). On the other hand our app has Admins who ideally need to check each Application that is created (and maybe do a background check on the creating User and what not) as well as its scopes. They would #approve! or #reject! the Application and only once it is approved, can the Application make calls to the API.
NOTE: #approve!, #reject!, and approved do not come with Doorkeeper, from what I know. They are hypothetical so my question is clearer.
Is this a behavior that can be achieved with Doorkeeper (or an extension)? I don't think something like this is described in the config file. If not, do you have any general steps on how this could be done?
I'm thinking that something like this could work
class Api::V1::TransactionalBaseController < Api::V1::AuthableController
before_action :doorkeeper_authorize!
before_action :check_application_status!
private
def check_application_status!
application = doorkeeper_token.application
unless application.approved?
raise Doorkeeper::Errors::ApplicationForbidden.new
end
end
end
If this is something that may help other users of the gem, I'm open to possibly opening a PR or developing an extension to achieve this.
rails g migration AddApprovedAtRejectedAtToOauthApplications approved_at:datetime rejected_at:datetime
Edit the file to reflect the correct table.
Keeping in mind that Ruby lets you modify a class from anywhere... In an initializer (or similar); from https://github.com/doorkeeper-gem/doorkeeper/issues/153:
doorkeeper_extend_dir = File.join(Rails.root, "app", "models", "doorkeeper")
Dir.glob("#{doorkeeper_extend_dir}/*.rb").each { |f| require(f) }
# app/models/doorkeeper/application.rb
module Doorkeeper
class Application < ActiveRecord::Base
def approved?
approved_at?
end
def rejected?
rejected_at?
end
def approve!
update_column(:approved_at, DateTime.now)
end
def reject!
update_column(:rejected_at, DateTime.now)
end
end
end
I have a Rails 3.2 application, and I want to use one database for many clients and one application. So for every model I have created a field called account_id, now I want to add a global scope for filtering the row in the base of the account_id of the logging user(account_id is a session param). So in initialize I have created a file and put these code
module ActiveRecord
# = Active Record Named \Scopes \
module Scoping
module Default
module ClassMethods
def unscoped #:nodoc:
return (block_given? ? relation.scoping { yield } : relation).where(account_id: Thread.current['account_id'].id)
end
def default_scope(scope = {})
scope = Proc.new if block_given?
if scope.kind_of?(Array) || scope.is_a?(Hash)
scope.merge!({:conditions=>{account_id:Thread.current['account_id'].id}})
end
self.default_scopes = default_scopes + [scope]
end
end
end
end
end
If I logged with user account_id=2 all is ok, but if in the same moment I logged on another browser or computer with account_id=3 ...I have many errors and on the log, I have seen that the application use account_id=2 but also account_id=3 at the same time.
Any solution? How I can rewrite default_scope(scope = {})? Other other idea?
Thread.current[] data is not unique per request. I used to have the same problem. By that time I had been using this gem https://github.com/steveklabnik/request_store. Hope it will help or at least give an idea.
I am working right now on a Rails 4.0 application (using Ruby 2.0.0).
I would like to interact with Jenkins using jenkins_api_client gem, from multiple pages of my Rails application.
This gem generally using a #client parameter, which is initialized to contain the credentials and other information of the Jenkins server.
This parameter in initialized using something like this:
#client = JenkinsApi::Client.new(:server_ip => '0.0.0.0',
:username => 'somename', :password => 'secret password')
Once initialized, I would like to access this parameter and run multiple sub-routines on it.
This initialization takes time, and I really want to avoid doing this process every time one of the clients would like to use this gem functionality, such as:
# Get a filtered list of jobs from the server
jobs_to_filter = "^test_job.*"
jobs = #client.job.list(jobs_to_filter)
So, I hope to do this only once- when the rails server starts.
I would like to use this parameter from multiple pages of my app, possibly with threaded solution further down the road (not critical at the moment).
Can anyone recommend how to achieve this?
I'd appreciate an answer which is consistent with Rails convention.
Thanks a lot!
as example you could create something like that:
module JenkinsApi
class Client
class << self
attr_reader :instance, :config
def configure(&block)
#config = OpenStruct.new
block.call #config
end
def instance
#instance ||= JenkinsApi::Client.new #config
end
end
end
end
which allow you write in initializer:
JenkinsApi::Client.configure do |config|
config.server_ip = '0.0.0.0'
config.username = 'somename'
config.password = 'secret password'
end
and then use it like: JenkinsApi::Client.instance.job.list(...
I'm using Rails 4.1.0.beta1's new Action Mailer previews and have the following code:
class EventInvitationPreview < ActionMailer::Preview
def invitation_email
invite = FactoryGirl.create :event_invitation, :for_match, :from_user, :to_user
EventInvitationMailer.invitation_email(invite)
end
end
This is all good until I actually try to preview my email and get an error saying that validation on a User object failed due to duplicate email addresses. Turns out that ActionMailer::Preview is writing to my development database.
While I could work around the validation failure or use fixtures instead of factories, is there any way to avoid ActionMailer::Preview writing to the development database, e.g. use the test database instead? Or am I just doing it wrong?
Cleaner/Easier (based on other answers) and tested with Rails 7: Do not change Rails' classes but create your own. Id addition to not change the controller but the call method of ActionMailer::Preview.
# app/mailers/preview_mailer.rb
class PreviewMailer < ActionMailer::Preview
def self.call(...)
message = nil
ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do
message = super(...)
raise ActiveRecord::Rollback
end
message
end
end
# inherit from `PreviewController` for your previews
class EventInvitationPreview < PreviewController
def invitation_email
...
end
end
OLD:
You can simply use a transaction around email previews, just put this inside your lib/monkey_mailers_controller.rb (and require it):
# lib/monkey_mailers_controller.rb
class Rails::MailersController
alias_method :preview_orig, :preview
def preview
ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do
preview_orig
raise ActiveRecord::Rollback
end
end
end
Then you can call .create etc. in your mailer previews but nothing will be saved to database. Works in Rails 4.2.3.
A cleaner way to proceed is to prepend a module overriding and wrapping preview into a transaction:
module RollbackingAfterPreview
def preview
ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do
super
raise ActiveRecord::Rollback
end
end
end
Rails.application.config.to_prepare do
class Rails::MailersController
prepend RollbackingAfterPreview
end
end
TL;DR -- The original author of the ActionMailer preview feature (via the MailView gem) provides three examples of different supported approaches:
Pull data from existing fixtures: Account.first
Factory-like pattern: user = User.create! followed by user.destroy
Stub-like: Struct.new(:email, :name).new('name#example.com', 'Jill Smith')
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
To elaborate on the challenge faced by the OP...
Another manifestation of this challenge is attempting to use FactoryGirl.build (rather than create) to generate non-persistent data. This approach is suggested by one of the top Google results for "Rails 4.1" -- http://brewhouse.io/blog/2013/12/17/whats-new-in-rails-4-1.html?brewPubStart=1 -- in the "how to use this new feature" example. This approach seems reasonable, however if you're attempting to generate a url based on that data, it leads to an error along the lines of:
ActionController::UrlGenerationError in Rails::Mailers#preview
No route matches {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"password_resets", :format=>nil, :id=>nil} missing required keys: [:id]
Using FactoryGirl.create (rather than build) would solve this problem, but as the OP notes, leads to polluting the development database.
If you check out the docs for the original MailView gem which became this Rails 4.1 feature, the original author provides a bit more clarity about his intentions in this situation. Namely, the original author provides the following three examples, all focused on data reuse / cleanup / non-persistence, rather than providing a means of using a different database:
# app/mailers/mail_preview.rb or lib/mail_preview.rb
class MailPreview < MailView
# Pull data from existing fixtures
def invitation
account = Account.first
inviter, invitee = account.users[0, 2]
Notifier.invitation(inviter, invitee)
end
# Factory-like pattern
def welcome
user = User.create!
mail = Notifier.welcome(user)
user.destroy
mail
end
# Stub-like
def forgot_password
user = Struct.new(:email, :name).new('name#example.com', 'Jill Smith')
mail = UserMailer.forgot_password(user)
end
end
For Rails 6:
#Markus' answer worked for me, except that it caused a nasty deprecation-soon-will-be-real error related to how Autoloading has changed in Rails 6:
DEPRECATION WARNING: Initialization autoloaded the constants [many constants seemingly unrelated to what I actually did]
Being able to do this is deprecated. Autoloading during initialization is going to be an error condition in future versions of Rails.
[...]
Well, that's no good!
After more searching, this blog and the docs for
to_prepare helped me come up with this solution, which is just #Markus' answer wrapped in to_prepare. (And also it's in initializer/ instead of lib/.)
# /config/initializers/mailer_previews.rb
---
# Wrap previews in a transaction so they don't create objects.
Rails.application.config.to_prepare do
class Rails::MailersController
alias_method :preview_orig, :preview
def preview
ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do
preview_orig
raise ActiveRecord::Rollback
end
end
end
end
If you have a complicated object hierarchy, you can exploit transactional semantics to rollback the database state, as you would in a test environment (assuming your DB supports transactions). For example:
# spec/mailers/previews/price_change_preview.rb
class PriceChangeMailerPreview < ActionMailer::Preview
#transactional strategy
def price_decrease
User.transaction do
user = FactoryGirl.create(:user, :with_favorited_products) #creates a bunch of nested objects
mail = PriceChange.price_decrease(user, user.favorited_products.first)
raise ActiveRecord::Rollback, "Don't really want these objects committed to the db!"
end
mail
end
end
#spec/factories/user.rb
FactoryGirl.define do
factory :user do
...
trait :with_favorited_products do
after(:create) do |user|
user.favorited_products << create(:product)
user.save!
end
end
end
end
We can't use user.destroy with dependent: :destroy in this case because destroying the associated products normally doesn't make sense (if Amazon removes me as a customer, they don't remove all the products I have favorited from the market).
Note that transactions are supported by previous gem implementations of the preview functionality. Not sure why they aren't supported by ActionMailer::Preview.
I'm building a CMS with various modules (blog, calendar, etc.) using Rails 2.3. Each module is handled by a different controller and that works just fine.
The only problem I have is with the root URL. Depending on the configuration chosen by the user, this default URL should show a different module i.e. a different controller, but the only way I have to determine the correct controller is by checking the database for what "default" module is to be shown.
For the moment I'm using a specific "root" controller which checks the database and redirects to the correct controller. However I'd prefer the URL not to be changed, which means I want to invoke the correct controller from the very same request.
I've tried using Rails Metal to fetch this info and manually calling the controller I want but I'm thinking I may be reinventing the wheel (identify the request path to choose the controller, manage session, etc.).
Any idea? Thanks a lot in advance!
This problem can be solved with some Rack middleware:
This code in lib/root_rewriter.rb:
module DefV
class RootRewriter
def initialize(app)
#app = app
end
def call(env)
if env['REQUEST_URI'] == '/' # Root is requested!
env['REQUEST_URI'] = Page.find_by_root(true).uri # for example /blog/
end
#app.call(env)
end
end
end
Then in your config/environment.rb at the bottom
require 'root_rewriter'
ActionController::Dispatcher.middleware.insert_after ActiveRecord::QueryCache, DefV::RootRewriter
This middleware will check if the requested page (REQUEST_URI) is '/' and then do a lookup for the actual path (Implementation to this is up to you ;-)). You might do good on caching this info somewhere (Cache.fetch('root_path') { Page.find... })
There are some problems with checking REQUEST_URI, since not all webservers pass this correctly. For the whole implementation detail in Rails see http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Request.html#M000720 (Click "View source")
In Rails 3.2 this was what I came up with (still a middleware):
class RootRewriter
def initialize(app)
#app = app
end
def call(env)
if ['', '/'].include? env['PATH_INFO']
default_thing = # Do your model lookup here to determine your default item
env['PATH_INFO'] = # Assemble your new 'internal' path here (a string)
# I found useful methods to be: ActiveModel::Naming.route_key() and to_param
end
#app.call(env)
end
end
This tells Rails that the path is different from what was requested (the root path) so references to link_to_unless_current and the like still work well.
Load the middleware in like so in an initialiser:
MyApp::Application.config.middleware.use RootRewriter
