Issues with loading custom Omniauth provider in Devise

Question

I'm having issues with setting up a custom OmniAuth strategy to use with Devise. Im using the following gem here but im unsure on how to properly load this file and use it.

https://github.com/aereal/omniauth-xauth

Based on the README, i created a subclass specific for my provider, i didn't know really where to place this file, so i placed it here lib/strategies/myauth.rb based on this article . The file looks something like this. Removing the provider specific code.

module OmniAuth
  module Strategies
    class Myauth < OmniAuth::Strategies::XAuth
       ...
    end
  end
end

Based on this article i added the following code to my config/initializers/omniauth.rb

module OmniAuth
  module Strategies
    module XAuth
      autoload :myauth, Rails.root.join('lib', 'strategies', 'myauth') 
    end
  end
end

I did not add the following code, since i've read that by adding the config.omniauth :myauth in my config/initializers/devise.rb will take care of loading it. ??

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
   provider :myauth
end

---

I also added the following to my user.rb devise :database_authenticatable, :omniauthable, :omniauth_providers => [:myauth]

I've also updated my config/initializers/devise.rb

config.omniauth :myauth, 'CKEY', 'CSEC', strategy_class => OmniAuth::Strategies::XAuth::Myauth

So when i try and run rails s i get the following error output.

`load_missing_constant': Unable to autoload constant Myauth, expected ...../PROJECT/lib/strategies/myauth.rb to define it (LoadError)

Any ideas on what im missing? Thanks for your time

Answer 1

You don't need config/initializers/omniauth.rb file as you already have myauth.rb.

Your strategy class should contain the following:

config.omniauth :myauth, 'CKEY', 'CSEC', strategy_class => OmniAuth::Strategies::Myauth

Rest should work as long as the content of Myauth class is right.

Please let me know if i have misunderstood your question and answered incorrectly.
