similar to: protect_from_forgery doesnt protect from forgery

I am starting to BDD. When specing the controller I want to test for object creation: it "deberia crear una nueva persona en post create" do Usuario.should_receive(:create).with({:nombre => "camilo", :clave => "secreta", :tipo => "administrador"}).and_return(@usuario) post ''create'', {:usuario => {:nombre =>

Should this be working in development mode? For some reason it doesn''t. regards, John

I have recently been learning and trying to develop some application parts using Rails. One issue I may have is that one of the potential clients will want to have one of their external web pages POST to the Rails controller. I tried the naive approach - copy the HTML generated for the Rails controller action for doing the same POST (Create of a domain object). I had this working, or so I

Hey All, I''m trying to do a simple form_for (and I also get it with form_tag) and I''m getting the following error: ActionView::TemplateError (No :secret given to the #protect_from_forgery call. Set that or use a session store capable of generating its own keys (Cookie Session Store).) on line #2 of users/new.fbml.erb: 1: <h1>Welcome To Courses, Let''s Get

I''m setting up a Paypal IPN listener and need the create action to not use rails'' default CSRF protection. I''ve got that working fine & test it actually works with cucumber (where I''ve turned CSRF back on, since it''s full-stack testing) but would like my controller spec to mention the need for protect_from_forgery :except => [:create] (and fail

Hi there, I have my first Rails app running and I regularly get the following "logged_exception" error message: "ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken" Has anybody an idea what might cause this problem? Could it somehow be a "time out" error (like an "AuthenticityToken" which might expire after a certain time, or something along those lines)? Any

Hi, I have to enable batch uploads to my website with CURL and forgery protection in ApplicationController is standing in my way. I do use the restful authentication plugin and I do call login_required on all actions. Should I keep forgery protection around? Forgery protection only makes sure that the client request has originated from client''s session, right? Is there anything else

Hi, I just created a new Rails app that will be receiving some POSTed data from the outside so it must skip the verify_authenticity_token for some create actions. Although I have added: skip_before_filter :verifiy_authenticity_token I still get InvalidAuthenticityToken. In one of my other Rails app (created back in Rails 1.2.6 and updated to 2.3.2 over time) this skipping works perfectly though,

All, I''ve upgraded to 2.0.2, and I can''t get my login screen (the first POST request in the application) to work. When I post this form, I see the "InvalidAuthenticityToken" error. I have protect_from_forgery :secret => ''my_secret'' set in application.rb and I am using an active_record session store based on this line in environment.rb:

Hi guys This is a pretty tricky one. I get a "undefined method `protect_against_forgery?'' for #<ActionView::Base:0x569a3d4>" error when trying to generate a partial from ''outside'' the web site. I do this as I have a rake task that checks for changes periodically in the background, and if it then sees a change it rebuilds the partial and posts the result

Does anyone find them useful? I can see them being good in some cases, but I have many exceptions that occur because of expired sessions. I am also not sure if they are really required for pages that require a login to access. The other place that they cause issues is in javascript requests. I am not using the built-in helpers, and all the javascript exists in separate js files. There is ways

I''ve almost entirely converted a rails 2.3.5 app to 3pre. I''m having some trouble with protect_from_forgery. I had protect_from_forgery set in application_controller.rb, but run some uploadify ajax stuff in one of my controllers, where I had protect_from_forgery, :except => :add_file set. In rails 3 I''m getting ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken on the ajax

Just would like to verify: Is protect_from_forgery (in Rails 2.1) == the csrf_killer plugin from Rick Olson?

I am trying to convert my codeand to use the new Rails 2.0 feature RequestForgeryProtection but I get an InvalidAuthenticityToken error, right from the beginning with my login form.. I followed the recommandations : in my environment.rb config.action_controller.session = { :session_key => ''myappname'', :secret =>

Hi All, I''m having horrible problems with this exception, which seems to happen as soon as I access the session object. Does anyone know what the path is to recover from this? This post looked to be the most promising: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/facebooker-talk/2007-December/000047.html And I followed all of the steps except switching my session store, and modifying the default

My application needs to know if a user is an administrator, for security and aesthetic reasons. At the moment, I store true/false in the session by doing the following at login: session[:user_is_admin] = authenticated_user.is_admin? Is this OK to do? Or should I really be doing the following every time: User.find(session[:user_id]).is_admin? (user_id is always in the session too) Is there

What I want to do is share the same session across many Rails applications. All of them are using Rails 2.2.2. I know that, to share the session, it''s (supposedly) just a matter of sharing the same key and secret among the apps, like this: config.action_controller.session = { :session_key => ''_apps_session'', :secret =>

I''m trying to create a log in in index.html, but I keep getting an error about InvalidAuthenticityToken. I understand this is something that RoR puts in the forms, and it changes regularly. The problem is that the home page in the public folder is html, and therefore static. has anyone else put a log in on their home page? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
