Devise Confirmation invalid on first send

问题

I have a Rails 4 app with Devise 3.2.2 using :confirmable, and am running into an issue with it sending invalid confirmation tokens, but only the first time. After you resend the confirmation token, the link works.

The relevant routes:

devise_for :users, skip: [:sessions, :passwords, :confirmations, :unlocks, :registrations, :invitations]
as :user do
  ...
  # joining
  get   '/register' => 'devise/registrations#new',    as: 'new_user_registration'
  post  '/register' => 'devise/registrations#create', as: 'user_registration'
  ...
end

...and the mail template in question:

<p>Welcome <%= @email %>!</p>

<p>You can confirm your account email through the link below:</p>

<p><%= link_to 'Confirm my account', confirmation_url(@resource, :confirmation_token => @token) %></p>

As far as I can tell, everything is pretty standard fare, and the fact that it only fails when initially creating and not on the resend is rather confusing.

--Update--

When clicking on the link, I get the following in my dev log:

Started GET "/account/confirm?confirmation_token=3bQP-EvYJPv74s9AMz63" for 127.0.0.1 at 2014-02-07 12:26:10 -0500

    else
      new_session_path(resource_name, email: resource.email)
    end
  end

end

The following is a gist of the logs from the entire signup process: https://gist.github.com/jbender/bbe079c2dd3fa2d1e664

It looks like there's something which is causing your user to be immediately updated and resaved (including generation of a new confirmation token) before the registration create action has finished. Looking at your gist:

• Line 5 shows devise checking for existing users with the email address
• Line 6 shows devise checking whether the confirmation token it has just generated already exists for some other user (obviously they need to be unique)
• Line 9 shows the new user record being inserted into your database
• Line 11 then looks like devise has just generated a new confirmation token and is checking whether this new token is in use already.
• Line 14 then shows updated user details being saved, including this new confirmation token. I notice that there is a tos_accepted_at field which wasn't present in the initial insert in line 9. The unconfirmed_email field has also been set and the confirmation_sent_at field is 1 second later than the one saved in line 9; this is probably just due to the normal :confirmable behaviour, though I'm surprised devise didn't catch the fact that the email address was the same as the existing (unconfirmed) one and not bother.

The question is why did the user get saved twice? It looks like you've added a tos_accepted_at attribute. Is there some code somewhere (an after filter?) resaving the user including this attribute, along with all the others, which then triggers devise's confirmable logic again? Speaking of which, I'm most intrigued that it didn't immediately cause a second email to be sent (with a confirmation token that works), given that the confirmation_sent_at timestamp changes.

I notice that there's some version tracking going on too, judging by other INSERTs, though it doesn't look like that can be interfering.

As an additional sanity check, if you could bludgeon the rails console into encrypting what you expect the confirmation token to be, you'd find that the encrypted version matches the version at line 6 of your gist, which is then overwritten in the db at line 9. I can't try this, because it depends on your rails secret (see Devise::TokenGenerator in devise/toekn_generator.rb). Anyway, not necessary, but would confirm that the original confirmation token is never going to work.

I assume the resend works because it's just the normal case (no double save, no extra tos_accepted_at field etc.)

UPDATE

As discussed in the comments, the problem was indeed the tos_accepted_at attribute. It was being updated using update_attribute() in an after_create callback. For reasons which are a bit unclear, this seemed to be dirtying all attributes, so they were all saved as well (update_attribute also saves all other attributes if they're dirty) and devise generated a new confirmation token as part of this process (though we don't think it should have as the email address hadn't actually changed!). Changing your filter which saved the updated tos_accepted_at to a before_save filter instead of after_create avoided the problem by making sure the user was only saved once, because before_save obviously happens before that first save as opposed to after_create which of course happens after the save which inserts the user into the db.

Based on the routes file, I am assuming you have overridden registrations controller.
My hunch is that you have done something improperly in your registrations#create action. Specifically, the confirmation_token is not being stored properly in the User record when it is created.

My theory is:

1. Line 278 of confirmable.rb is returning false because line 277 is not finding a user with the supplied token because it wasn't stored properly. 277 thus creates a new user record and 278 returns false.

2. When you go through the resend process, the whole token generation/storage process is done over again a la confirmable.rb and confirmations#create in confirmations_controller.rb. This fixes the missed storage step in registrations#create.

Can you verify that the confirmation_token is being stored properly on your user model upon initial creation?
