Ruby on Rails Devise Confirmation Token is nil - ruby-on-rails

I've got a User model (created by $ rails g devise User) and it is set to use confirmable (in the model and migration).
When a User is created the confirmation token is not being set (and the confirmation email is not being sent).
Here's app/models/user.rb:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
# Include default devise modules. Others available are:
# :confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
:recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable,
:confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable
def password_required?
super if confirmed?
end
def password_match?
self.errors[:password] << "can't be blank" if password.blank?
self.errors[:password_confirmation] << "can't be blank" if password_confirmation.blank?
self.errors[:password_confirmation] << "does not match password" if password != password_confirmation
password == password_confirmation && !password.blank?
end
# new function to set the password without knowing the current
# password used in our confirmation controller.
def attempt_set_password(params)
p = {}
p[:password] = params[:password]
p[:password_confirmation] = params[:password_confirmation]
update_attributes(p)
end
# new function to return whether a password has been set
def has_no_password?
self.encrypted_password.blank?
end
# Devise::Models:unless_confirmed` method doesn't exist in Devise 2.0.0 anymore.
# Instead you should use `pending_any_confirmation`.
def only_if_unconfirmed
pending_any_confirmation {yield}
end
protected
def confirmation_required?
false
end
end
Any ideas?

That's because you are overriding confirmation_required? to always return false.
Take a look at this
before_create :generate_confirmation_token, if: :confirmation_required?
The token is only generated if that method returns true.
The default behavior of confirmation_required? is to return true if the record hasn't been confirmed.
def confirmation_required?
!confirmed?
end

To complement #nbermudezs answer, this confirmation_required? method was added to devise in case you want to bypass confirmation for some users (eg users with special promo code, or whatever)
If you don't want to have any exceptions, I suggest you simply remove those lines of code or comment them, so you return to the default behavior of devise_confirmable which is the one you seem to want (and the one given by #nbermudezs)
# def confirmation_required?
# false
# end

rails API error: Validation failed: Email is invalid

I hope you are good. I try to implement google authentication to my rails API. I get error
ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid (Validation failed: Email is invalid)
My user.rb:
class User < ApplicationRecord
# Include default devise modules. Others available are:
# :confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable, :trackable and :omniauthable
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
:recoverable, :rememberable, :validatable,
:confirmable, :trackable,
:omniauthable, omniauth_providers: [:google_oauth2]
def self.create_user_for_google(data)
where(uid: data['email']).first_or_initialize.tap do |user|
user.provider = 'google_oauth2'
user.uid = data['email']
user.email = data['email']
user.password = Devise.friendly_token[0, 20]
user.password_confirmation = user.password
user.save!
end
end
end
and my users_controller.rb looks:
class UsersController < ApplicationController
def google_oauth2
url = "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/tokeninfo?id_token=#{params['id_token']}"
response = HTTParty.get(url, format: :plain)
user = User.create_user_for_google(response.parsed_response)
render json: user
end
end
My guess is there's no email in response.parsed_response
You're not supposed to make the request from your backend the way you do:
HTTParty.get "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/tokeninfo?id_token=#{params['id_token']}"
You're supposed to redirect user's browser to user_google_oauth2_omniauth_authorize_url (I think this URL helper comes from devise in routes.rb (look for devise_for:)
Then your user's browser shows the Google log in page (or, if user was already logged in, next step) then (still google) asks for their consent to share data, and only after receiving this consent google would redirect your user back to your app to an address that is called a callback (it looks like omniauth_callbacks: "users/omniauth_callbacks")
And only in the controller/action that handles this callback, you'll see an email and a token you can save with your user and use it to signing in with google's oAuth protocol.
Don't worry, oAuth is confusing when you do it for the first time.
One of the clearest step-by-step example how to implement omni auth I could find is here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-devise-and-omniauth-for-your-rails-application

Use OTP instead of password in devise

I have 3 different devise models. Two using email & password for login and works great. But For the third one I need to use mobile & OTP based login instead of email & password. So the devise session controller only receives mobile & the otp as params.
I have changed from email to mobile by using authentication_keys
class Customer < ApplicationRecord
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
:recoverable, :rememberable, :validatable, authentication_keys: [:mobile]
def email_required?
false
end
end
I am using devise-jwt for jwt response & overriding sessions_controller like this
class Api::Customers::V1::Auth::SessionsController < Devise::SessionsController
def create
super { #token = current_token }
end
private
def current_token
request.env['warden-jwt_auth.token']
end
end
But now am getting password blank validation error. How can I disable password validation & change to do an otp verification instead?
PS: I have seen several resources on two factor auth . But they all work with password validation.

Error Ruby on Rails: Users::OmniauthCallbacksController#facebook is missing a template for this request format and variant

I'm trying to add an external login with facebook, but whenever I realize the home page correctly directs me to the facebook page, but then I get the following error, and could not understand what it can be.
"Users::OmniauthCallbacksController#facebook is missing a template for this request format and variant. request.formats: ["text/html"] request.variant: [] NOTE! For XHR/Ajax or API requests, this action would normally respond with 204 No Content: an empty white screen. Since you're loading it in a web browser, we assume that you expected to actually render a template, not nothing, so we're showing an error to be extra-clear. If you expect 204 No Content, carry on. That's what you'll get from an XHR or API request. Give it a shot."
"That's what you'll get from an XHR or API request. Give it a shot."
raise ActionController::UnknownFormat, message
else
logger.info "No template found for #{self.class.name}\##{action_name}, rendering head :no_content" if logger
super
this is my controller
class Users::OmniauthCallbacksController < ApplicationController
def facebook
#User = User.from_omniauth(request.env["omniauth.auth"])
if #User.persisted?
#User.remember_me = true
sign_in_and_redirect #User, event: :authentication
end
end
end
this is the user model.
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
# Include default devise modules. Others available are:
# :confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
:recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable,:omniauthable, :omniauth_providers => [:facebook]
def self.from_omniauth(auth)
where(provider: auth[:provider], uid: auth[:uid]).first_or_create do |user|
if auth[:info]
user.email = auth[:info][:email]
user.name = auth[:info][:name]
end
user.password = Devise.friendly_token[0,20]
end
end
has_many :articles , :dependent => :destroy
end
and i put this line in config/initializers/divise.rb
config.omniauth :facebook, '504432376574467', 'b2bb80641fcc2ca4d28e48c5ce*******'
My guess would be that User.from_omniauth fails to create the user (possibly due to user.password and user.password_confirmation not matching), which causes the Users::OmniauthCallbacksController#facebook to reach the end of the method without going inside the if clause.
To check, you could for example add an else clause to your Facebook callback and raise an error in there.

rails 4, activeAdmin, Devise not saving reset_password_token for admin_user

I am using ActiveAdmin to create other admin members by supplying email, and having a block to send a password reset to the newly added email:
class AdminUser < ActiveRecord::Base
after_create { |admin| admin.send_reset_password_instructions }
# Include default devise modules. Others available are:
# :confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable
devise :database_authenticatable,
:recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable
def password_required?
new_record? ? false : super
end
end
However, I started getting a reset token invalid error, and on checking, discovered that the reset_password_token is not getting saved.
When I tried to debug, I traced the error to the method of the set_reset_password_token method of the Recoverable module ( recoverable.rb file ) of devise:
def set_reset_password_token
raw, enc = Devise.token_generator.generate(self.class, :reset_password_token)
self.reset_password_token = enc
self.reset_password_sent_at = Time.now.utc
self.save(validate: false)
raw
end
the token is getting generated, but when I checked self just before the self.save(validate: false) line, there was nothing attached to self.reset_password_token, it was nil.
To finally complicate it for me, when i now manually run the line self.reset_password_token = enc and self.reset_password_token actually now holds the token, after saving it, and checking the database, the reset_password_token of the newly saved AdminUser was still nil.
What could be going on here?
Note however: devise test suit on git shows that this should not be the case as shown below:
test 'should not clear reset password token for new user' do
user = new_user
assert_nil user.reset_password_token
user.send_reset_password_instructions
assert_present user.reset_password_token
user.save
assert_present user.reset_password_token
end

Devise / ActionMailer sending duplicate emails for registration confirmation

My rails application uses devise to handle registration, authentication, etc. I'm using the confirmable module. The bug is this– when a user registers with email, Devise is sending two confirmation emails with different confirmation links. One link works, the other directs the user to an error page.
Devise spits out a message associated with the error: "Confirmation token is invalid" and takes the user to the Resend Confirmation Email page.
I'm hosting with heroku and using sendgrid to send the emails. update: The bug also occurs on localhost.
I have no idea where the root of this bug is, and this might be more code than what you need to see:

I'm happy to provide more information if needed. I'm also open to customizing/overriding the devise mailer behavior, but I don't know how to go about that.
Much thanks!
Solved!
I was able to override Devise::Mailer and force a stack trace to find out exactly what was causing duplicate emails. Devise::Mailer#confirmation_instructions was being called twice, and I found out that the problem was with my :after_create callback, shown below:
in models/user.rb...
after_create :account_created
# called after the account is first created
def account_created
...
# update points
self.points += 50
self.save
...
end
Calling self.save somehow caused the mailer to be triggered again. I solved the problem by changing when the points are added. I got rid of the after_create call and overrode the confirm! method in devise to look like this:
def confirm!
super
account_created
end
So now the user record doesn't get modified (adding points) until after confirmation. No more duplicate emails!
I originally went with Thomas Klemm's answer but I went back to look at this when I had some spare time to try and figure out what was happening as it didn't feel right.
I tracked the 'problem' down and noticed that it only happens when :confirmable is set in your devise (User) model and reconfirmable is enabled in the devise initializer - which in hindsight makes a lot of sense because essentially in the after_create we ARE changing the User model, although we aren't changing the email address - I suspect Devise may do this because the account isn't confirmed yet, but in any case it is easy to stop the second email just by calling self.skip_reconfirmation! in the after_create method.
I created a sample rails project with a couple of tests just to ensure the correct behaviour. Below are the key excerpts. If you have far too much time on your hands, you can see the project here: https://github.com/richhollis/devise-reconfirmable-test
app/models/User.rb
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
# Include default devise modules. Others available are:
# :token_authenticatable, :confirmable,
# :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
:recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable, :confirmable
# Setup accessible (or protected) attributes for your model
attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me
after_create :add_attribute
private
def add_attribute
self.skip_reconfirmation!
self.update_attributes({ :status => 200 }, :without_protection => true)
end
end
initializers/devise.rb
# Use this hook to configure devise mailer, warden hooks and so forth.
# Many of these configuration options can be set straight in your model.
Devise.setup do |config|
..
..
# If true, requires any email changes to be confirmed (exactly the same way as
# initial account confirmation) to be applied. Requires additional unconfirmed_email
# db field (see migrations). Until confirmed new email is stored in
# unconfirmed email column, and copied to email column on successful confirmation.
config.reconfirmable = true
..
..
end
spec/models/user_spec.rb
require 'spec_helper'
describe User do
subject(:user) { User.create(:email => 'nobody#nobody.com', :password => 'abcdefghijk') }
it "should only send one email during creation" do
expect {
user
}.to change(ActionMailer::Base.deliveries, :count).by(1)
end
it "should set attribute in after_create as expected" do
user.status.should eq(200)
end
end
Running the rspec tests to ensure only one email is sent confirms the behaviour:

Thanks for your great solution, Stephen! I've tried it and it works perfectly to hook into the confirm! method. However, in this case, the function is being called (as the name says) when the user clicks the confirmation link in the email he receives.
An alternative is to hook into the generate_confirmation_token method, so your method is called directly when the confirmation token is created and the email is sent.
# app/models/user.rb
def generate_confirmation_token
make_owner_an_account_member
super # includes a call to save(validate: false),
# so be sure to call whatever you like beforehand
end
def make_owner_an_account_member
self.account = owned_account if owned_account?
end
