Question

I created a Rails application normally. Then created the scaffold for an event class. Then tried the following code. When run it complains about a InvalidAuthenticityToken when the destroy method is executed. How do I authenticate to avoid this response?

require 'rubygems' require 'activeresource'  class Event < ActiveResource::Base   self.site = 'http://localhost:3000' end  e = Event.create(   :name => 'Shortest Event Ever!',   :starts_at => 1.second.ago,   :capacity => 25,   :price => 10.00)  e.destroy

I found an answer to this issue which works since I am writing a command-line application. I added the following to my controller:

  # you can disable csrf protection on controller-by-controller basis:   skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token
