Custom devise strategy

gistfile1.rb

# In config/initializers/local_override.rb:

require 'devise/strategies/authenticatable'

module Devise
  module Strategies
    class LocalOverride < Authenticatable
      def valid?
        true
      end

      def authenticate!
        if params[:user]
          user = User.find_by_email(params[:user][:email])

          if user && user.encrypted_password == params[:user][:password]
            success!(user)
          else
            fail
          end 
        else
          fail
        end 
      end 
    end 
  end 
end

Warden::Strategies.add(:local_override, Devise::Strategies::LocalOverride)



# In config/initializers/devise.rb

config.warden do |manager|
  manager.default_strategies(:scope => :user).unshift :local_override

How might one test this using rspec?

Sorry, it's been a while since I've looked at this. I'm afraid the answer to that question is left as an exercise to the reader :)

I forked it and put my spec in there for hungry minds.

Thanks!

thanks for code as well specs :)

Thanks! This was really helpful but to get this working on my end, I had to replace

if user && user.encrypted_password == params[:user][:password]

with

if user && user.valid_password?(params[:user][:password])

I also had to throw a

fail!

in order to get fail to also halt the authentication process.

Really helpful thanks!!
