Ember Simple Auth: Session lost on refresh

Question

I\'m using Ember Simple Auth Devise v 0.6.4 in an Ember-cli app.

I can log in fine but when I refresh the page the session is lost. (Tested in Firefox and Chrome.) <

I had this issue as well. It turns out that the restore method in the authenticator did not take into account the resource name.

In particular, changing the line indicated here: https://github.com/simplabs/ember-simple-auth/blob/master/packages/ember-simple-auth-devise/lib/simple-auth-devise/authenticators/devise.js#L95

as follows:

if (!Ember.isEmpty(propertiesObject.get(_this.resourceName)[_this.tokenAttributeName]) && !Ember.isEmpty(propertiesObject.get(_this.resourceName)[_this.identificationAttributeName])) {

solved the problem.

Note that my local storage looked like:

{"secure":{"authenticator":"simple-auth-authenticator:devise","user":{"id":1,"email":"test@gmail.com","created_at":"2015-07-20T22:30:47.966Z","updated_at":"2015-07-23T17:45:41.874Z","authentication_token":"7Uv6LysQ2h3x-P4WUMmU","token":"7Uv6LysQ2h3x-P4WUMmU"}}}

As a result, this required the additional changes in the config/environment.js

  ENV['simple-auth-devise'] = {
    identificationAttributeName: 'email',
    resourceName: 'user',
    tokenAttributeName: 'authentication_token',
    crossOriginWhitelist: ['*']   
  };

Changing bower_components/ember-simple-auth/simple-auth-devise.amd.js is what allowed me to see that this indeed was my problem.
