Hi guys,
After I’ve upgraded to Rails 3.0.10, the application I’m working on started having these http basic auth popups.
At first I thought it was caused by me upgrading to 3.0.10 which could’ve expired all current sessions. But it’s not
that. Everytime I try to delete a record, I get the popup. I experimented with it for a while and found out that
the bug is only present when I’m deleting via javascript (ie, links have :remote => true). If I remove the :remote => true
lines, then everything works fine. I can confirm that it’s working fine before in Rails 3.0.3. Any ideas?
Here’s the code for the link_to
link_to ‘Delete’, post, :confirm => ‘Are you sure you want to delete this post?’, :method => :delete, :remote => true
The destroy action is a standard destroy controller action (which I think has nothing to do with this issue but I’ll include
the code anyway).
def destroy
@post = Post.where(:id => params[:id]).first
if @post
authorize! :delete, @post
@post.destroy
end
respond_to do |format|
format.html {redirect_to posts_path}
format.js
end
end
