Devise + Omniauth: undefined method `user_omniauth_authorize_path'

Question

I've been following the omniauth + devise integration guide for facebook and I keep getting this error when I click the link to sign in with facebook link.

undefined method user_omniauth_authorize_path for #<#<Class:0x0000000253a550>:0x000000035ea490>

I've double checked the code in the guide and I can't seem to figure out what the issue is. My gemfile:

source 'https://rubygems.org'

gem 'sendgrid'
gem 'omniauth-facebook'
gem 'gravatar'
gem 'will_paginate'
gem 'faker'
gem 'devise'
# Bundle edge Rails instead: gem 'rails', github: 'rails/rails'

group :development, :test do
  # Call 'byebug' anywhere in the code to stop execution and get a debugger console
  gem 'byebug'
end

group :development do

end

OmniauthCallbacksController:

class Users::OmniauthCallbacksController < Devise::OmniauthCallbacksController



 def facebook

    @user = User.from_omniauth(request.env["omniauth"])

    if @user.persisted?
      sign_in_and_redirect @user, :event => :authentication
      set_flash_message(:notice, :success, :kind => "Facebook") if is_navigational_format?
    else
      session["devise.facebook_data"] = request.env["omniauth.auth"]
      redirect_to new_user_registration_url
    end
  end

  def failure
    redirect_to root_path
  end

end

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]

  has_many :following, through: :active_relationships, source: :followed
  has_many :followers, through: :passive_relationships, source: :follower


  def feed
    Post.where("user_id IN (?) OR user_id = ?", following_ids, id)
  end

  # follows user
  def follow(other_user)
    active_relationships.create(followed_id: other_user.id)
  end

  # unfollows user
  def unfollow(other_user)
    active_relationships.find_by(followed_id: other_user.id).destroy
  end

  def following?(other_user)
    following.include?(other_user)
  end

  def self.from_omniauth(auth)
    where(provider: auth.provider, uid: auth.uid).first_or_create do |user|
      user.email = auth.info.email
      user.password = Devise.friendly_token[0,20]
    end
  end
end

Answer 1

Try running rake routes and see what the paths for omniauth are. I believe they have changed with the most recent release of devise. Try changing

<%= link_to "Sign in with Facebook", user_omniauth_authorize_path(:facebook) %>

to

<%= link_to "Sign in with Facebook", user_facebook_omniauth_authorize_path %>

and see if that works for you.

Apparently the helpers for the omniauth routes have changed since the rake routes command for me returned

user_facebook_omniauth_authorize   GET|POST   /users/auth/facebook(.:format)          omniauth_callbacks#passthru

and not as it was some months ago when I started the project.

user_omniauth_authorize            GET|POST   /users/auth/facebook(:provider)          omniauth_callbacks#passthru

You should also change the line

@user = User.from_omniauth(request.env["omniauth"])

to

@user = User.from_omniauth(request.env["omniauth.auth"])

This is what worked for me, hope this helps.

Answer 2

It might not be the answer people are looking for, but you could always just specify an older version of the devise gem in your Gemfile.

gem 'devise', '~> 4.1.1'

This took down my production site and I had to act quick. This worked.
