I have defined my own method authorize_user
in one of my controllers, as:
def authorize_user
if !((current_user.has_role? :admin, @operator) || (current_user.has_role? :super_admin))
raise CanCan::AccessDenied
end
end
I want to rescue from the CanCan exception (or any other exception for that matter). I have used Rolify in my app. How do I rescue and redirect to the root_url
of my app with a custom message?
I have tried the following options, but none of them worked:
Try 1:
rescue CanCan::AccessDenied do |exception|
redirect_to root_url, :alert => exception.message
end
Error in this case: syntax error, unexpected keyword_do, expecting '('
Try 2:
rescue CanCan::AccessDenied
redirect_to root_url, :alert => "Unauthorized Access"
Error in this case: Render and/or redirect were called multiple times in this action
How do I solve this issue?
This is my controller code:
class CabsController < ApplicationController
before_action :set_cab, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
before_action :authenticate_user!
after_action :authorize_user
# Some basic CRUD actions
private
def set_cab
@cab = Cab.find(params[:id])
@operator = Operator.find(params[:operator_id])
end
def cab_params
params.require(:cab).permit(:category, :number)
end
def authorize_user
if !((current_user.has_role? :admin, @operator) || (current_user.has_role? :super_admin))
raise CanCan::AccessDenied
end
end
end
I think you could try the rescue_from
method.
For example, your ApplicationController
, would look like this:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
rescue_from CanCan::AccessDenied, with: :not_authorized
#other stuff
private
def not_authorized
redirect_to root_url, alert: "Unauthorized Access"
end
end
Since the question was updated with more code, here is additional information:
Some suggestions:
:authorize_user
a before_action
as well. That way you don't need to worry about code running in the action even when the user was not allowed to do stuff. :only
option as for the :set_cab
since you use the @operator
instance variable. if !
to unless
to increase reading flow. 尝试redirect_to(...) and return
。
Agreeing with Jakob W I would like to point, that authorization (and authentication) MUST be performed only before action. What is the purpose of any authorization and exception raising when DB transaction, reading/writing to filesystem etc have been already done?
And using before_action
has no problem with Render and/or redirect were called multiple times in this action
- there will be only one redirect - in exception handling before controller method call.
So, I recommend next code (updated Jakob W's sample):
class CabsController < ApplicationController
#...
before_action :authorize_user
private
#...
def authorize_user
if !((current_user.has_role? :admin, @operator) || (current_user.has_role? :super_admin))
raise CanCan::AccessDenied
end
end
end
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
rescue_from CanCan::AccessDenied, with: :not_authorized
#other stuff
private
def not_authorized
redirect_to(request.referrer || root_path), alert: "Unauthorized Access"
end
end
Could I recommend another authorization gem? I think this one is flexible and easy to use - pundit ( https://github.com/elabs/pundit ). Page on github has some useful tips on authorization.
