current_user is nil

[farihulrouf]

I keep getting, {"error":"You need to sign in or sign up before continuing."}

`class Api::V1::MomentsController < ApplicationController
  skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token,
                     :if => Proc.new { |c| c.request.format == 'application/json' }

  acts_as_token_authentication_handler_for User, fallback: :devise  

  def index
    @moments = current_user.moments
  end

  def create
    @moment = current_user.moments.build(params[:moment])  
    if @moment.save
       @moment
    else
      render :status => :unprocessable_entity,
             :json => { :success => false,
                        :info => @moment.errors,
                        :data => {} }
    end
  end
end`

Can anyone see what is wrong with my code?
Why current_user is nil ?

Hello @FarihulR,

Is any Devise callback set in your ApplicationController? What is the request you are performing? Did you check the FAQ?

Regards!

Waw :-) Thanks for the response!! :)
Here is ApplicationController

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  # Prevent CSRF attacks by raising an exception.
  # For APIs, you may want to use :null_session instead.
  protect_from_forgery with: :exception
  skip_before_action :verify_authenticity_token

end

Hi @FarihulR,

And what's the request you're performing? It should look (depending on your routing rules) like:

GET https://secure.example.com/?user_email=alice@example.com&user_token=1G8_s7P-V-4MGojaKD7a

@FarihulR I documented the information needed for troubleshooting in the wiki. Please see Asking for help for examples. : )
