Question

my Devise Recaptcha isn’t working correctly because I can skip right over it and still register.

I followed the Devise wiki at – https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/How-To:-Use-Recaptcha-with-Devise and got everything working accept i encountered the problem above.

Here is my code:

app/controllers/users/registrations.rb

class Users::RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
    def create
        if verify_recaptcha
            super
        else
            build_resource
            clean_up_passwords(resource)
            flash[:alert] = "There was an error with the recaptcha code below. Please re-enter the code and click submit."
            render_with_scope :new
        end
    end
end

routes.rb

YourApp::Application.routes.draw do

  devise_for :users do
    root :to => "devise/registrations#new"
    get "/" => "devise/registrations#new"
    post '/' => 'registrations#new', :as => :new_user_registration 
    match '/', :to => 'devise/registrations#new'    
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
  end

  devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations => "users/registrations" }

  namespace :user do
    root :to => "home#index"
  end

config/initializers/recaptcha.rb

Recaptcha.configure do |config|
    config.public_key  = 'mykey123456789'
    config.private_key = 'mykey13456789'
end

It is possible it doesn’t work because i am in test mode and not on my domain name?

Help would be appreciated!

This was an issue with not having ImageMagick or RMagick installed, had to go through the nonsense to get this working.

These were my trials & tribulations:

ImageMagick – "CORE_RL_magick_.dll not found" or how to install RMagick on windows with ruby 1.9.2
