NoMethodError: undefined method `provider' for #<User

[shivabhusal]

I am facing this error

 > a=User.create
   (3.0ms)  BEGIN
   (0.1ms)  ROLLBACK
NoMethodError: undefined method `provider' for #<User:0x0000000008433390>

I don't have uid and provider fields in users table. However, I have moved these fields to auth_identities table.

can I make devise_token_auth not to search for the fields uid, provider?

You could but you'd have to modify the library extensively. This is default behavior.

@shivabhusal Yeah you can.

1. in config/initializers/devise_token_auth.rb uncomment this line and make it false

  config.change_headers_on_each_request = false

2. search for config.other_uid and set it to whatever field you want.
3. Add this method to your model

def provider
  "custom_attr"
end
