:remember_me option not saving with UserSession.new

Reported by c00lryguy | July 11th, 2009 @ 03:53 AM

View

- if current_user
  %p= "Signed in as " << current_user.email << "!"
  %p= current_user_session.remember_me?
- else
  %h1 Login
  %p
    - form_for :login_info, :url => login_path do |f|
      = f.label :email
      = f.text_field :email
      = f.label :password
      = f.password_field :password
      = f.submit "Submit"
      = f.check_box :remember_me
      = f.label :remember_me

Controller

class UserSessionsController < ApplicationController
  before_filter :require_no_user, :only => :create
  before_filter :require_user, :only => :destroy
  
  def create
    user_session = UserSession.new(params[:login_info])
    if user_session.save
      flash[:notice] = "Logged in!"
      redirect_to home_path
    else
      flash[:error] = "Error: Login unsuccessful!"
      redirect_to home_path
    end
  end
  
  def destroy
    current_user_session.destroy
    flash[:notice] = "Logged out!"
    redirect_to home_path
  end
end

Problem

Now when I login with the option 'Remember me?' checked, Rails passes:

Processing UserSessionsController#create (for 127.0.0.1 at 2009-07-11 03:39:15) [POST]
  Parameters: 
  {"commit"=>"Submit", "action"=>"create", "controller"=>"user_sessions", 
  "login_info"=>{"password"=>"[FILTERED]", "remember_me"=>"1", "email"=>"c00lryguy@gmail.com"}}

But the View displays:

Signed in as c00lryguy@gmail.com!
false

No matter how hard I try I can't get the current_user_session to remember the remember_me option.

    That's strange. The remember_me feature uses a cookie. Are you sure that cookies are properly being created? Try doing a simple test where you expire a cookie in the future, close your browser, and see if you can still retrieve that cookie. I can't tell you how many times people have an issue with authlogic when their cookies aren't working properly.

    I'm using the remember_me function on a number of sites I manage and all are working great.

    Hope this helps.

    While logged with with the Remember me? option checked, I viewed my cookies in Firefox and there's nothing no 'remember_me' cookie. I see no reason why it wouldn't create the 'remember_me' cookie since it also creates session and user_credentials cookies.

    Do you have some sort of example app using the remember_me option?

    I'm having the same problem here but I can get the remember_me to be true on the current_user_session.

    I don't have any remeber_me cookie created either.... will keep work on it...

                Thanks

    I have a related problem that is puzzling me.

    I decided to keep things simple and have every session 'remembered'. I added a line to my UserSession model:

    class UserSession < Authlogic::Session::Base
    remember_me true end

    This works great in development, but doesn't seem to work in production. I see the cookie, but it is set to expire at the end of the browser session.

    Any thoughts??

    Thanks

    Sorry, the code snipped there is:

    @@@ class UserSession < Authlogic::Session::Base remember_me true end @@@

    I messed around for a bit. Looks like unpacking the gem fixed the problem. My host has authlogic installed, looks like the same version, so I don't know exactly what happened. But it's working for me now.

    Thanks for the plugin, cool stuff.

    For a change, there is an article that focuses on a specific topic and is not all over the places. I like the fact that it is actually problem-solving and not just random and baseless subject. Great going!
