I've an AuthenticatorService module located in the file app/services/authenticator_service.rb.
This module looks like this:
module AuthenticatorService # authenticate user with its email and password # in case of success, return signed in user # otherwise, throw an exception def authenticate_with_credentials(email, password) user = User.find_by_email(email) raise "Invalid email or password" if user.nil? or not user.authenticate password return user end # some other methods... end I currently use this module in my SessionsController.
class V1::SessionsController < ApplicationController # POST /sessions # if the credentials are valid, sign in the user and return the auth token # otherwise, return json data containing the error def sign_in begin user = AuthenticatorService.authenticate_with_credentials params[:email], params[:password] token = AuthenticatorService::generate_token user render json: { success: true, user: user.as_json(only: [:id, :first_name, :last_name, :email]), token: token } rescue Exception => e render json: { success: false, message: e.message }, status: 401 end end end SessionsController is in the namespace V1 because it is located in app/controllers/v1/sessions_controller.rb but that's not the problem here.
The problem is that, when I call the route corresponding to SessionsController::sign_in, I go the following error: undefined method 'authenticate_with_credentials' for AuthenticatorService:Module.
I can't understand why I get this error in development and production environments for multiple reasons:
- When I add debug information, I can see that the AuthenticatorService is loaded and accessible from the controller
- Moreover, when I display the public instance methods,
authenticate_with_credentialsis listed in the result (puts AuthenticatorService.public_instance_methods) - In my test, this controller is tested and everything works as expected...
Maybe someone could give me some help.
