Question

I am using Ruby on Rails 3.2.2 and in my controllers I would like to use the verify method this way:

class UsersController < ApplicationController
  verify :params      => "user",
         :only        => :update,
         :redirect_to => {:action => 'settings'}

  ...
end

However, when I access the browser page that calls the update controller action (or any other controller action) I get the following error:

Routing Error
undefined method `verify' for UsersController:Class

How can I solve the problem? Where I can find some documentation about the verify method?

Note: The verify method is described in “The Rails 3 Way” book (at page 111) written by Obie Fernandez.

Answer 1

Sorry to say but verify method is no longer available in Rails 3.2. It was last used in Rails v2.3.8

Some of the verify are
http://api.rubyonrails.org/files/activesupport/lib/active_support/message_verifier_rb.html

or you find some useful verify & valid methods in Active_support/Multibyte/utils.rb

Hope this helps.
