Do we need to do anything special to get ngResource working?

[davidtlee]

I'm getting an authentication error when I try to call my rails api (through ngResource) when I am signed in on the angular side. In my rails api controller, I have:

before_action :authenticate_user!

which is supposed to require the user to be signed in. I do believe that I am signed in on the angular side. because $auth.validateUser() is returning the user, which I can see on $scope.user. My angular controller code is:

  $auth.validateUser().then (resp) ->                                                     
    $scope.user = resp                                                                    

  rooms = Room.query( ->                                                                  
    $scope.rooms = rooms                                                                  
  )                                                                                       

The authentication error is happening on Room.query (where Room is defined via ngResource). I get the following response:

errors: ["Authorized users only."]

In case it helps, I tried turning off the authentication filter and checking the value of current_user. It is nil.

Also, below are the headers sent (retrieved from Chrome console):

Just fixed it :) I think, somehow, it wasn't adding the right variables from the cookie into the header, possibly because my apiUrl was defined as localhost:3000.

By changing apiUrl to:

$authProvider.configure({ apiUrl: 'api' });

and changing my rails route to

mount_devise_token_auth_for 'User', at: 'api/auth'

things seem to be working now :)
