Question

I have a custom auth strategy (it is the default strategy), which has an authenticate! function.

def authenticate!
  if validation_success
    success!(resource)
  else
    fail(:invalid_token)
  end
end

I want to modify it so that in the ‘else’ part of the loop, I directly return a 404 from this code itself.

Answer 1

raise ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound

The production environment automatically handles record not found and routing errors with a 404.
