Rails 3 - Filter chain halted as :authentication rendered or redirected
Solution 1
the filter chain halts when you are redirecting somewhere from before_filter. if everything working correct than you can ignore this message
Solution 2
I got that error just with one of my users.
It turned out that the user had a field (were we recently added a lenght validation) with more text than the allowed. As the validation was new and the user was already there, that error kept showing.
I found it when trying to update its attributes using "!" to make the errors explicit
> User.last.update_attributes!(:email => "[email protected]")
User Load (0.3ms) SELECT
users
.* FROMusers
ORDER BYusers
.id
DESC LIMIT 1 (0.1ms) BEGIN User Exists (0.2ms) SELECT 1 AS one FROMusers
WHERE (users
.users
.id
!= 2020) LIMIT 1 (0.1ms) ROLLBACK ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid: Validation failed: Summary is too long (maximum is 650 characters)
So changing the content of that field "Summary" solved it.

I am still getting the "error" message in the title and don't know, how to solve it. In the ApplicationController,
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base protect_from_forgery before_filter :mailer_set_url_options helper_method :current_user_session, :current_user def mailer_set_url_options ActionMailer::Base.default_url_options[:host] = request.host_with_port end private def current_user_session logger.debug "ApplicationController::current_user_session" return @current_user_session if defined?(@current_user_session) @current_user_session = UserSession.find end def current_user logger.debug "ApplicationController::current_user" return @current_user if defined?(@current_user) @current_user = current_user_session && current_user_session.user end def authentication logger.debug "ApplicationController::authentication" unless current_user store_location flash[:warning] = "You must be logged out to access this page" redirect_to root_url return false end end def store_location session[:return_to] = request.url end end
in the routes.rb
#match 'set_activity_account/:id/:value' => 'users#account_activity', :as => :set_activity_account -- this doesn't work as well.. resources :users do member do get :action_a, :action_b end collection do get 'account_activity' end end
and the UsersController
class UsersController < ApplicationController before_filter :authentication, only: [:index, :edit, :update, :destroy, :action_a, :action_b] #skip_before_filter :authentication, :only => [:account_activity] didn't help as well def account_activity unless current_user.nil? puts 'A' if params[:user_id] && params[:status] puts 'B' User.find(params[:user_id]).update_attributes(:active => params[:status]) flash[:notice] = 'Activity was successfully changed.' end end redirect_to :back end ...
Always when is updated the active attribute, I will get the message Redirected localhost:3000/ Filter chain halted as :authentication rendered or redirected
EDIT: Added output from log file:

How can I fix this problem? I've tried to search on google here on SO, but unfortunately still don't know, how to fix it..
