remember_me module raises 'undefined method' error if no SSL.

[kevin-smartpatients]

Configuration

• Sorcery Version: 0.16.0
• Ruby Version: ruby-2.6.6
• Framework: Rails 6.0.3.5
• Platform: MacOS

Expected Behavior

I just turned enabled remember_me. I don't expect it to work on localhost without SSL but it shouldn't blow up.

Actual Behavior

With the remember_me module enabled, if you check to see if the user is logged_in?, this code in the remember_me module raises an error undefined method 'signed' for nil:NilClass because signed cookies are not available unless you are using SSL.

# remember_me.rb
def login_from_cookie
  user = cookies.signed[:remember_me_token] &&  … if defined? cookies
  (…)
end

Steps to Reproduce

# sorcery.rb
Rails.application.config.sorcery.submodules = [:reset_password, :session_timeout, :remember_me]

# my code in a controller action
  def show
    puts 'hello' if logged_in?
  end

This workaround fixes it for me:

# application_controller.rb
  def login_from_cookie
    super if request.ssl?
  end

It's an easy fix and I can submit a PR with a test if it's useful.
The check for cookies needs to check whether cookies is nil.

# remember_me.rb line 62
user = cookies.signed[:remember_me_token] (…) if defined?(cookies) && cookies

@kevin-smartpatients Looks like a simple enough fix! Opening a PR would be appreciated. 😃

Presumably this is only an issue when testing locally, as you should always be using HTTPS in production. Still worth looking into and address though.

[kevin-smartpatients]

Yes. Only in development. I had forgotten about this. Sorry. I'll try to tackle it this week.
