  • Rails still has the associations to the guest_user cached after calling 'logging_in'. If the User model has a 'dependent: :destroy' parameter the associations will be deleted even if the user is changed. Reloading the guest user before destroying makes sure rails pick up the changes.

  • the guest user code has two bugs: 1. with the warden strategy, it's possible for the current_user to be the guest_user, thus we need to check whether guest_user_id is equal to current_user.id to prevent it from being destroyed. 2. there is a possibility that we are unnecessarily creating then destroying a guest user
