Authlogic and rails 3 : NameError in User sessionsController#new

rubyonrails-talk

Hi everybody,

I've installed Authlogic on Rails 3 following the Railscast (http:// railscasts.com/episodes/160-authlogic), and the resources I was able to find on the web, but I'm facing a problem.

Once I've generated the user_sessions controller and mapped the login and logout routes, I get an error if I try to load the login page : uninitialized constant UserSessionsController::UserSession app/controllers/user_sessions_controller.rb:11:in `new'

The user_sessions model is really simple : class UserSession < Authlogic::Session::Base end

But it looks like this class declaration is not considered by Rails...

Does anyone have an idea ?

Thx by advance for your help. Romain

Hi Romain,

Have a look at this link DIXIS authlogic on rails3 on how to setup authlogic with rails 3. I have had a similar problem, and after following that tutorial, I managed to resolve my problem.

I do get a few deprecation warnings, but overall it has been working ok.

Hope that helps.

Regards,

Fidel.

Where is that file? is it in user_session.rb somewhere on the loadpath (not user_sessions.rb)

Yes it is, but in my setup it is user_sessions.rb with an "s". It seems to me (but I'm a RoR newbie) that controller files should have an "s"... Can you tell me more on that ? Thx Romain

They should. But this is a model, not a controller.

Can you tell me more on that ? Thx Romain

Best,
