Question

I’m trying to make a two-step confirmation like heroku using Devise.

My routes:

  devise_for :user, :controllers => {:confirmations => "confirmations", :registrations => "registrations" }
    put "confirm_account", :to => "confirmations#confirm_account"

Here’s my alternate confirmation controller:

class ConfirmationsController < Devise::ConfirmationsController
  def show
    @account = User.find_by_confirmation_token(params[:confirmation_token])
    if !@account.present?
      render_with_scope :new
    end
  end

  def confirm_account
    @account = User.find(params[:account][:confirmation_token])
    if @account.update_attributes(params[:account]) and @account.password_match?
      @account = User.confirm_by_token(@account.confirmation_token)
      set_flash_message :notice, :confirmed      
      sign_in_and_redirect("user", @account)
    else
      render :action => "show"
    end
  end

end

Here’s my show.html.erb:

<%= form_for(resource, :as => resource_name, :url => confirm_account_path(resource_name)) do |f| %>
    <%= f.label :email %>
    <%= @account.email %>
    <%= f.hidden_field :confirmation_token %>
    <%= f.label :password %>
    <%= f.password_field :password %>
    <%= f.label :password_confirmation %>
    <%= f.password_field :password_confirmation %>
    <%= f.submit 'Confirm Account' %>
    <%= link_to 'Home', root_url %>
    <%= render :partial => 'devise/shared/links' %>
<% end %>

When I click confirm after filling out the password (after clicking confirm in the confirmation email). I’m routed to /confirm_account.user That’s pretty weird, right? What’s going on to cause this problem?

Edit

rake routes returns:

In changing

  devise_for :user, :controllers => {:confirmations => "confirmations", :registrations => "registrations" } do
        match "/confirm_account", :to => "confirmations#confirm_account"
    end

I’m receiving :

You have a nil object when you didn’t
expect it! You might have expected an
instance of Array. The error occurred
while evaluating nil.[]

{"utf8"=>"✓",
 "authenticity_token"=>"dsG/e8Tw2Oi6zEDb07R/L0yDOKFEFlse+IgLbfz3Lo0=",
 "user"=>{"confirmation_token"=>"",
 "password"=>"[FILTERED]",
 "password_confirmation"=>"[FILTERED]"},
 "commit"=>"Confirm Account"}

There’s definitely a token in the url, though…This is actually going somewhere, though!

Answer 1

It looks to me like confirm_account_path doesn’t exist?

If you didn’t set up your routes manually, you can go ahead and set that in the config/routes.rb file, to confirmations#confirm_account.

Or, if you set Devise to use your ConfirmationsController, using new_user_confirmation_path may work too (and may not). Type rake routes in the console to see available routes. They should lead to the ConfirmationsController and the confirm_account action.

EDIT: Try editing your routes file as follows.

devise_for :user, :controllers => {:confirmations => "confirmations", :registrations => "registrations" } do
    match "/confirm_account" => "confirmations#confirm_account"
end

I think the slash is important before confirm_account because it is now inside the devise_for block (which is identical to devise_scope). Otherwise it may go to users/confirm_account.

EDIT2: Use params[:user][:confirmation_token], not params[:account][:confirmation_token] in the controller. But currently it looks like the confirmation token is blank.
