I have an authorization control which requires current user name
(@currentuser.can_update?) to check permissions. The current user info
is taken from the sessions and if no user is logged in , i.e., is
session has a nil entry for user then I am assigning anonymous user as
follows:
def current_user_and_role
if session[:user].nil? # used null object pattern
@currentuser = Anonymous.new
@currentusername = ''Unassigned''
@currentrole = ''anonymous''
else
@currentuser = User.find(session[:user])
@currentusername = @currentuser.username
@currentrole = @currentuser.role.name
end
end
The Anonymous class is a sub-class of user model. The problem is while
using wget or curl command. This occurred while testing and in
implementing functionality to generate static html archive.
I get an error like: ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid (Mysql::Error: MySQL
server has gone away: SHOW FIELDS FROM users):
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.1.0/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb:147:in
log'' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.1.0/lib/active_record
... ...
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.1.0/lib/active_record/base.rb:2126:ininitialize''
/app/controllers/application.rb:13:in new''
/app/controllers/application.rb:13:incurrent_user_and_role''
This does not occur if I place my static archival code in models.
However, it spits out this error if static archival is done in
controller. So how should I implement this to set current user to logged
in or anonymous user?
