Rails, OpenID and Authlogic

Question

I've been following ryan baytes screencast #170 and adding ruby-openid, authlogic and authlogic-oid to an existing authlogic authentication system.

However, i keep getting the following stack of errors:

NameError (uninitialized constant OpenIdAuthentication::InvalidOpenId): /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/authlogic-oid-1.0.4/lib/authlogic_openid/session.rb:53:in openid_identifier=' /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/authlogic-oid-1.0.4/lib/authlogic_openid/session.rb:47:incredentials=' authlogic (2.1.2) lib/authlogic/session/foundation.rb:28:in initialize' authlogic (2.1.2) lib/authlogic/session/password.rb:140:ininitialize' authlogic (2.1.2) lib/authlogic/session/activation.rb:48:in initialize' authlogic (2.1.2) lib/authlogic/session/klass.rb:61:ininitialize' authlogic (2.1.2) lib/authlogic/session/scopes.rb:79:in initialize' app/controllers/user_sessions_controller.rb:10:innew' app/controllers/user_sessions_controller.rb:10:in `create'

Is there anyone who's facing the same kind of problem? i'm using rails 2.3.4

I've tried binary's example app which is working perfectly well (rails 2.1.2), i've tried the code provided by ryan bates and it is working well too (rails 2.3.2). So, the libraries are working with previous versions of rails.

Any clues?

Answer 1

rails/open_id_authentication plugin has been updated a few days ago and it breaks compatibility with the authlogic_openid gem (v=1.0.4).

Youl'll have to wait until someone fix the authlogic_openid gem (the issue)

Answer 2

I have found this:

http://futureadapter.com/2009/11/13/authlogic-plugin-errorfix/

But I don't know how to apply this code ( were to I put it ? ) so that it fixes the authlogic_oid problem.

Can anyone check it out and see how to apply it?

Thanks.

Answer 4

Briefly... no

i guess there are too many dependent libraries and debugging the problem took a bit of time, so we shifted to using masquerade, making the app itself an openid provider.
