New OmniAuth strategy gem released for Rails

[tapster]

just a quick note to say I wanted to use the OAuth 2 consumers with
OmniAuth 1.0, but since there wasn't an existing strategy gem, I wrote
and open sourced one here https://github.com/tapster/omniauth-meetup

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

You can probably even make this simpler. Instead of using the v1 members method to get the current member info,

https://github.com/tapster/omniauth-meetup/blob/master/lib/omniauth/strategies/meetup.rb#L33

You can use the v2 /2/member/self method which will just give you the member you are looking for

http://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/console/?path=/2/member/:id&:id=self

Consider posting a library submission here

http://www.meetup.com/Meetup-API-Testing/pages/API_Client_Libraries_Submissions/

and it will get listed here

Hello,

I am following instructions to authenticate a user and was expecting to get an Authentication Hash in the callback URL but it doesn't seem to be there.

My configuration is Ruby 2.0, Rails 4.0 with both omniauth and omniauth-meetup gems.

The user authenticates on Meetup.com with this url:

https://secure.meetup.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=MEETUP_KEY&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http://localhost:3000/auth/meetup/callback

The callback method is:

  # GET /auth/:provider/callback
  def create
    user = User.find_or_create_from_auth_hash(request.env['omniauth.auth'])
    redirect_to '/'
  end

User is able to authenticate and gets redirected. However, request.env['omniauth.auth'] is nil (not there) when I inspect the request headers.

Does anyone have any idea what I may be missing?

Thanks,
Long

Update:

I figured out the issues and want to document them here for reference.

1. I should be using /auth/meetup to kick start the login process
2. Devise was not configure so it was blocking activation of /auth/meetup

Cheers
