I tried asking this question - and didn't find any help.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33493369/rails-devise-omniauth-problems-with-setup
I gave up trying to solve the problem and made an entirely new app with nothing else in it so that I could try to reduce the scope for other errors interfering.
In my new app, I now get an error when I click on the new registration/new user link.
I have followed the rails casts tutorials (having tried about 20 others) to get this setup. 1.5 years in and I am still struggling.
The problem is with the way the strategies are defined in the controller. I have 4 strategies (twitter, Facebook, google and linkedin) and am I am currently getting a different error for each of them when I try clicking on the links to create a new registration with those accounts:
For Twitter: Unknown action The action 'twitter' could not be found for Users::AuthenticationsController
For Facebook:
Given URL is not permitted by the Application configuration: One or more of the given URLs is not permitted by the App's settings. It must match the Website URL or Canvas URL, or the domain must be a subdomain of one of the App's domains.
This error is because I can't figure out Facebook's documentation. It shows how to use js to login with Facebook where I am trying to use gems in Rails. I'm not worried about this error. I think it has something to do with my website not being defined as local host, although I can't find anywhere to but a callback url in Facebook's developer console. My question doesn't relate to this problem, I'll find help to sort this out another time.
For LinkedIn:
Safari can’t open the page “https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/authorization?client_id=LINKEDIN_DEV_ID&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A3000%2Fusers%2Fauth%2Flinkedin%2Fcallback&response_type=code&scope=r_basicprofile+r_emailaddress&state=3fef961c10410464cd5b0ca49b25112ce53fb65f1a3c794f”.
The error is: “cannot decode raw data” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1015) I have an oauth2 callback defined as:
http://localhost:3000/users/auth/linkedin/callback
I don't know what's broken here.
For Google:
translation missing: en.devise.authentications.user.failure
The new registrations view just refreshes when i click this link and an error message says the above. I don't know what's causing this error either.
Each of the errors is different.
I have a folder in my controllers folder called users. Inside that I have two controllers as follows:
Authentications controller:
class Users::AuthenticationsController < Devise::OmniauthCallbacksController
  before_action :set_authentication, only: [:destroy]
  def index
    @authentications = current_user.authentications if current_user
  end
  def create
    omniauth = request.env["omniauth.auth"]
    authentication = Authentication.find_by_provider_and_uid(omniauth['provider'], omniauth['uid'])
    if authentication
      sign_in_and_redirect_user(:user, authentication.user.profile)
    elsif current_user
      current_user.authentications.create!(:provider => omniauth['provider'], :uid => omniauth['uid'])
      redirect_to user.profile_url
    else
      user = User.new
      user.omniauth(omniauth)
      if user.save!
        sign_in_and_redirect_user(:user, user.profile)
      else
        session[:omniauth] = omniauth.except('extra')
        redirect_to new_user_registration_url
      end
    end  
  end
  def destroy
    @authentication.destroy
    respond_to do |format|
      format.html { redirect_to root_path }
      format.json { head :no_content }
    end
  end
  private
    # Use callbacks to share common setup or constraints between actions.
    def set_authentication
      @authentication = current_user.authentications.find(params[:id])
    end
end
Registrations controller:
class Users::RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController 
  #before_filter :check_permissions , :only => [ :new, :create, :cancel ] 
  #skip_before_filter :require_no_authentication 
  # before_action :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?
  def check_permissions
    authorize! :create, resource
  end
  def index
    if params[:approved] == "false"
      @users = User.find_all_by_approved(false)
    else
      @users = User.all
    end
  end
  def create
    super
    session[:omniauth] = nil unless @user.new_record?
  end
  # THIS IS A SUGGESTION FROM SITEPOINT TUTORIAL 
  # protected
  #   def configure_permitted_parameters
  #     devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) << [:first_name, :last_name]
  #   end
  private
    def user_params
          params.require(:user).permit(:first_name, :last_name, :email, :password )
    end
    def build_resource(*args)
        super
        if session[:omniauth]
        @user.apply_omniauth(session[:omniauth])
        @user.valid?
        end
    end  
end
User.rb has
devise
:omniauthable, :omniauth_providers => [:facebook, :linkedin, :twitter, :google_oauth2 ]
 has_many :authentications, :dependent => :delete_all
def apply_omniauth(omniauth)
        self.email = auth['extra']['raw_info']['email']
        authentications.build(:provider => omniauth['provider'], :uid => omniauth['uid'], :token => auth['credentials']['token'])
    end
def password_required?
  (authentications.empty? || !password.blank?) && super
end
In my routes.rb I have:
  devise_for :users,
             :controllers => {
                :registrations => "users/registrations",
                :omniauth_callbacks => "users/authentications"
                # :omniauth_callbacks => 'users/omniauth_callbacks',
           }
  get '/auth/:provider/callback' => 'users/authentications#create'
  get '/sign_out', :to => 'users/authentications#destroy'         
In my omniauth.rb I have:
require 'omniauth-facebook'
require 'omniauth-google-oauth2'
require 'omniauth-twitter'
OmniAuth.config.logger = Rails.logger
Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :twitter, ENV['TWITTER_KEY'], ENV['TWITTER_SECRET']
end
Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
   provider :facebook, ENV['FACEBOOK_ID'], ENV['FACEBOOK_KEY'],
     :scope => 'public_profile', info_fields: 'id,first_name,last_name,link,email',
     :display => 'popup',
     :client_options => {:ssl => {:ca_file => '/usr/lib/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt'}}
end
Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
   provider :google_oauth2, ENV['YT_CLIENT_ID'], ENV['YT_CLIENT_SECRET'],
            scope: 'profile', image_aspect_ratio: 'square', image_size: 48,
            # {name: "google_login", approval_prompt: ''},
            access_type: 'online'
            #ENV["GOOGLE_APP_ID"], ENV["GOOGLE_APP_SECRET"]
#   {
#         :name => "google",
#         :scope => "userinfo.email, userinfo.profile, plus.me, http://gdata.youtube.com",
#         :prompt => "select_account",
#         :image_aspect_ratio => "square",
#         :image_size => 50
#       }
end
Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
   if Rails.env == 'production'
     key = ENV["LINKEDIN_PRODUCTION_KEY"]
     secret = ENV["LINKEDIN_PRODUCTION_SECRET"]
   else
     key = "LINKEDIN_DEV_ID"
     secret = "LINKEDIN_DEV_KEY"
   end
   provider :linkedin, key, secret,
     :scope => "r_basicprofile r_emailaddress", 
     :field => ["id", "email-address", "first-name", "last-name" ],
     :client_options => {:ssl => {:ca_file => '/usr/lib/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt'}} 
end
In my new registration/session views, I have:
<% if devise_mapping.omniauthable? %>
                            <%= link_to icon('facebook', id: 'facebookauth'), user_omniauth_authorize_path(:facebook) %>
                            <%= link_to  icon('google', id: 'googleauth'), user_omniauth_authorize_path(:google_oauth2) %>
                            <%= link_to icon('linkedin', id: 'linkedinauth'), user_omniauth_authorize_path(:linkedin) %>
                            <%= link_to icon('twitter', id: 'twitterauth'), user_omniauth_authorize_path(:twitter) %>
                        <% end %>   
I think it has something to do with not having named strategies the authentications controller. In other tutorials, I have set up the following (now commented out of the controller because there is a method called apply_omniauth used now).
# def facebook
#   #   @user = User.find_for_facebook_oauth(request.env["omniauth.auth"])
#   #   if @user.persisted?
#   #     # @user.send_admin_mail
#   #     # @user.send_user_welcome_mail
#   #     sign_in @user, :event => :authentication #this will throw if @user is not activated
#   #     if @user.profile
#   #       redirect_to profile_path(@user.profile)
#   #     else
#   #       redirect_to new_profile_path
#   #     end
#   #     # sign_in_and_redirect @user, :event => :authentication #this will throw if @user is not activated
#   #     # set_flash_message(:notice, :success, :kind => "Facebook") if is_navigational_format?
#   #   else
#   #     session["devise.facebook_data"] = request.env["omniauth.auth"]
#   #     redirect_to root_path
#   #   end
#   # end
#   # def linkedin
#   #   @user = User.find_for_linkedin_oauth(request.env["omniauth.auth"])
#   #   if @user.persisted?
#   #     # @user.send_admin_mail
#   #     # @user.send_user_welcome_mail
#   #     sign_in @user, :event => :authentication
#   #     if @user.profile
#   #       redirect_to profile_path(@user.profile)
#   #     else
#   #       redirect_to new_profile_path
#   #     end
#   #     #  set_flash_message(:notice, :success, :kind => "LinkedIn") if is_navigational_format?
#   #   else
#   #     session["devise.linkedin_data"] = request.env["omniauth.auth"]
#   #     redirect_to root_path
#   #   end
#   # end
#   # def twitter
#   #   begin
#   #     @user = User.from_omniauth(request.env['omniauth.auth'])
#   #     session[:user_id] = @user.id
#   #     flash[:success] = "Welcome, #{@user.name}!"
#   #   rescue
#   #     flash[:warning] = "There was an error while trying to authenticate you..."
#   #   end
#   #   redirect_to new_profile_path #root_path
#   # end
#   # #
#   def google_oauth2
#      # You need to implement the method below in your model (e.g. app/models/user.rb)
#      @user = User.find_for_google_oauth2(request.env["omniauth.auth"], current_user)
#      if @user.persisted?
#         sign_in @user, :event => :authentication #this will throw if @user is not activated
#         if @user.profile
#           redirect_to profile_path(@user.profile)
#           flash[:notice] = I18n.t "devise.omniauth_callbacks.success", :kind => "Google"
#         else
#           redirect_to new_profile_path
#         end
#      else
#        session["devise.google_data"] = request.env["omniauth.auth"]
#        redirect_to new_user_registration_url
#      end
#   end
Before I completely ditch the rails cast setup, is there a way I can point the current structure towards the named providers using the code I already have?
ANOTHER ATTEMPT:
So I ditched the RailsCast. I tried to follow this tutorial:
http://willschenk.com/setting-up-devise-with-twitter-and-facebook-and-other-omniauth-schemes-without-email-addresses/
I'm confused by the reference to adding a new 'class' called FormUser. I made a new model called form_user.rb and added the content as described. I'm using Rails 4. I don't know what atto-accessor means, but I have it in my file as demonstrated. I don't have a corresponding controller. I also don't have associations defined in my user model (which I think this belongs to).
Anyway, I have followed the setup and now get this error:
    TypeError
superclass mismatch for class OmniauthCallbacksController
It's the same for each of the strategies defined in my app.
Has anyone seen this particular error & have any tips for how to resolve it?
The only difference between my setup and the tutorial is that in my controllers, I have a folder called users, in that, I have a registrations controller and an omniauth_callbacks controller. My routes have been adjusted to reflect this layer.
devise_for :users, class_name: 'FormUser',
             :controllers => {
                :registrations => "users/registrations",
                # :omniauth_callbacks => "users/authentications"
                :omniauth_callbacks => 'users/omniauth_callbacks',
           }
  get '/auth/:provider/callback' => 'users/authentications#create'
  get '/authentications/sign_out', :to => 'users/authentications#destroy' 
  devise_scope :user do
    get '/users/auth/:provider/upgrade' => 'users/omniauth_callbacks#upgrade', as: :user_omniauth_upgrade
    get '/users/auth/:provider/setup', :to => 'users/omniauth_callbacks#setup'
  end
