“before_filter :oauth_required” does not work properly for “oauth-plugin”? Gives “Invalid OAuth Request”

Question

I am using https://github.com/pelle/oauth-plugin .

When I use "before_filter :oauth_required" at the top of a controller it fails the controller and gives "Invalid OAuth Request" even though when I have authorized the action. ie if I take this line out my controller will work properly, calling the google api via oauth and it works....

Any advice how to fix this? Or is there another approach I should be using?

Answer 1

The author of the plugin recommends using oauthenticate instead of oauth_required (see line 114 )

Replace before_filter :oauth_required with oauthenticate :interactive => false and it'll work.
