Rails: Before process_action callback :authenticate_user! has not been defined

Question

I\'m creating a rails app that includes devise. I\'m trying to add Twilio messaging to my site with Ngrok, i used this tutorial: https://www.twilio.com/blog/2016/04/receive-and-

Answer 1

Twilio developer evangelist here.

It looks like this was a problem that Rails 5 seems to have introduced. If the filter hasn't been defined by the time it is used in a controller it will raise an error. This was discovered in the Clearance project too.

Their fix was to pass the raise: false option to skip_before_filter:

class MessagesController < ApplicationController
  skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token 
  skip_before_filter :authenticate_user!, :only => "reply", :raise => false

end

Let me know if that helps at all.
