I'm having problems when resetting a password using Devise.
When I click on 'Send me reset password instructions', I get:
ArgumentError at /users/password
Missing host to link to! Please provide the :host parameter, set default_url_options[:host], or set :only_path to true
It says that the problem is in /views/devise/mailer/reset_password_instructions.html.erb on line 5.
On line 5 in that file there is:
<p><%= link_to 'Change my password', edit_password_url(#resource, :reset_password_token => #resource.reset_password_token) %></p>
I have no idea how to setup a mailer in Rails although I have tried to. Can anybody help me with this?
Finally, you need to set up default url options for the mailer in each
environment. Here is the configuration for "config/environments/development.rb":
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000' }
You need to specify the host so it can be shown in the confimation email.
You can create a default filter like this:
# application_controller.rb
before_filter :mailer_set_url_options
...
def mailer_set_url_options
ActionMailer::Base.default_url_options[:host] = request.host_with_port
end

I've write a RoR application and I use Devise for some user management.
I've already configure my application to send email for password recovery and I use the following code in my reset_password_instruction.html.erb:
<p><%= link_to 'Modify password', edit_password_url(#resource, reset_password_token: #token) %></p>
In my config environment files I have defined: config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'app_url.com' }.
When the application send a recovery email, it attach an url like this:
app_url.comuser insted of app_url.com/user.
What did I miss?
From the rails console, I see the url like it is suppposed to be.
<p><a href=3D"http://app_url.com/users/password/edit?reset_password_=token=3D47da8a08bd3d4asdfadfasdfa3eb9422388467adccfe095f058ca2a3352b12"=>Modify password</a></p>
I am using rails 4 and ruby 2. I have implemented login using devise. My problem is forgot password is not working on heroku but working on local. After receiving the mail when i clicked on "Change my password" link, it redirects to https://www.heroku.com/ page. How can I solve this issue? please help me if any one have any idea.
Codes:
reset_password_instructions.html.erb:
<p>Hello <%= #resource.email %>!</p>
<p>Someone has requested a link to change your password. You can do this through the link below.</p>
<p><%= link_to 'Change my password', edit_password_url(#resource, reset_password_token: #resource.reset_password_token) %></p>
<p>If you didn't request this, please ignore this email.</p>
<p>Your password won't change until you access the link above and create a new one.</p>
Check if you configured your server's url in your config/application.rb:
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: 'your.example.com' }
Find more details in the Rails Guide about Mailers.
In you config/environments/production.rb file, you should have a looking like
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => "http://eee.com" }
It defines the url used by action mailer when resolving url using the Rails url helpers. So If you set this value or change it, it should change the result.
I'm using Devise for authentication with a Rails 4 app and am having issues with the password reset. Locally, everything works fine, when I paste the reset link in (i.e. localhost:3000/users/password/edit?reset_password_token=e_f3ZpqrE_rTBZmKJk_E) it works as expected.
On Heroku however, Devise seems to not even notice the :reset_password_token param, and automatically redirect to /users/signin with the notice "You can't access this page without coming from a password reset email. If you do come from a password reset email, please make sure you used the full URL provided."
Here's is an example of the link that is being generated: http://mysite.io/users/password/edit?reset_password_token=anzYNreZEcz4-dtZy5Uf
I even overrode the assert_reset_token_passed method in my own controller to check if params[:reset_password_token] was actually blank, and for some reason it is, rails is not pulling this out of the url. Here's my modified method:
def assert_reset_token_passed
logger.info params[:reset_password_token] #This is blank somehow
if params[:reset_password_token].blank?
set_flash_message(:alert, :no_token)
redirect_to new_session_path(resource_name) #This is where the redirect happens
end
end
Any help would be much appreciated.
I was having the exact same issue. The fix for me was to update the config.action_mailer.default_url_options in production.rb to include the full host (in my case 'www.mydomain.com' vs 'mydomain.com').
To clarify, it used to be
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'mydomain.com' }
and now it's
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'www.mydomain.com' }
I'm using ActionMailer to send a sign up confirmation email. The email needs to contain a link back to the site to verify the user, but I can't persuade Rails to generate a full URL (including the domain etc).
I'm using:
<%= url_for :controller => 'login', :action => 'verify', :guid => #user.new_user.guid, :only_path => false, :host => 'http://plantality.com' %>
in my view
Part b:
In development mode Rails gripes if I don't specify the host explicilty in the link above. But I don't want to do this in production. Any solutions?
To solve the problem to pass a host for generating URLs in ActionMailer, check out this plugin and the reason why I wrote it.
To solve the first issue, use named routes when applicable. Instead of
<%= url_for :controller => 'login', :action => 'verify', :guid => #user.new_user.guid, :only_path => false, :host => 'http://plantality.com' %>
assuming the route is called login, use
<%= login_url(:guid => #user.new_user.guid) %>
Note, I'm using login_url, not login_path.
I'm not sure if it is what you want but in config/environments/development.rb you can specify default options for mailer urls
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = {
:host => "your.host.org",
:port => 3000
}
you can do the same in config/environments/production.rb
I don't know why the previous solutions seem so complicated, but since I'm here why not give my 2 cents...
Go to /config/environments and add:
config.absolute_site_url = 'your site url'
for the respective environment (ie. in development.rb, test.rb, or production.rb). Restart web server.
This allows you to call Rails.application.config.absolute_site_url to get the desired URL. No need for plugins or weird cheat, just store the site url as an application wide variable.
I think its not 100% correct way but this can also be a solution :
See the Using asset hosts section in the documentation. You need to specify an asset_host. You can also construct it dynamically from the request chaining "#{request.protocol}#{request.host_with_port}/login/?guid=#{#user.new_user.guid}"
To generate url, try this
Rails.application.routes.url_helpers.user_url(User.first.id, host: 'yourhost.io')
this will generate url like this:
http://yourhost.io/users/1
As well you can pass some params
expires = Time.now + 2.days
params = {expires: expires}
u = User.first.id
Rails.application.routes.url_helpers.user_url(u, params, host: 'host.com')
will generate:
http://yourhost.io/users/1.expires=2018-08-12+15%253A52%253A15+%252B0300
so you can werifi in action if link is not expired
I'm working on a fairly traditional forgot password email - I want to email the user a password change token embedded in a link that they can click on in order to change their password. I'm emailing via the traditional ActionMailer.
If I use a normal link_to tag
<%= link_to "click here", :controller => foo, :action => 'bar', :token => token %>
I get a relative link - rather useless from an email.
If I add in
:only_path => false, then it errors saying I need to set default_url_options[:host]. The ActionController docs imply that you do that by overriding the #default_url_options methods in your controller. Surely there's a configuration option to tell Rails what it's hostname is without adding my own config file, parsing it, etc?
default_url_options is available from config.action_mailer and should be set in your environment's configuration file.
For example, in config/environments/production.rb:
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = {
:host => 'www.yourdomain.com'
}
For local testing, modify config/environments/development.rb:
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = {
:host => '127.0.0.1',
:port => 3000
}
Then, assuming you have a named route called forgot_password_login, you can generate the login link URL in your mailer using something like this:
forgot_password_login_url(:token => 'a7s8q15sk2...')
You probably want to set :protocol => 'https' as well, btw.
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = {
:host => "portal.example.com",
:protocol => 'https'
}
There is another alternative, as described in http://pivotallabs.com/how-i-leaned-to-stop-hating-and-love-action-mailer/
This solution has the advantage that it doesn't require any configuration (so less of a hassle), and works fine as long as you send emails from within controllers.
But if you plan on sending email without going through a controller (e.g. from command line or in response to another email), you need the static configuration.
Setting default_url_options directly is deprecated in Rails 3.1. Use url_for instead.
Add parameter :protocol to override default value (http), :protocol => 'https://'. This will create url starting with "https://..." instead of default "http://"
Interestingly, I had the same issue as you did, but in unit tests (while following Michael Hartl's railstutorial). I had this line in my test.rb file, but that didn't help:
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: 'example.com', protocol: 'http' }
I've also added another line like this to test.rb, and surprisingly this solved the issue
default_url_options = { host: 'example.com', protocol: 'http' }
Setting default_url_options directly is deprecated in Rails 3.1
Use the url_for helper to create it:
<%= link_to "click here", url_for(:controller => foo, :action => 'bar', :token => token, :host => 'www.yourdomain.com') %>
Can you just do
<%="click here", :controller => foo, :action => 'bar', :token => token, :host=>request.host -%>
