This gem forces authentication on all controllers about simple_token_authentication HOT 4 CLOSED

I almost certainly did something wrong : /
I'll take a look at it this week-end, thanks Paul for reporting.

i confirm that issue

Hi both of you, I took a look at it this week-end, and think it's really time to setup some automated testing. I was thinking in installing Cucumber, Appraisal and Aruba in order to setup the dummy app for each version of Rails we care about and be able to write Cucumber scenarii where acts_as_token_authentication_handler was called and others where it wasn't. I know how to test authorization and API responses easily with some API steps I'm working with (mostly at work for now). However, the Cucumber-Appraisal-Aruba setup for a dummy app is new for me and will take more time that I had this week-end. Again, thanks @pdobb and @AhmedAttyah for reporting and confirming, I'll tag this issue as a confirmed bug.

By the way, I supect I did something wrong implementing the acts_as_... pattern (guide, explanation - starts at slide 72), and that I should have wrapped the before_filters into a method which would be called by acts_as_token_authentication_handler(), something like set_before_filters().
Or maybe something like this could be enough:

#  lib/simple_token_authentication/acts_as_token_authentication_handler.rb

# ...

def acts_as_token_authentication_handler(options = {})
  include SimpleTokenAuthentication::ActsAsTokenAuthenticationHandler

  # 'm not sure at all about syntax, it's just to illustrate the idea:
  include private :authenticate_user_from_token!
  include before_filter :authenticate_user_from_token!
  include before_filter :authenticate_user!
end

# ...

If you want to give it a try while I setup the test environment, please feel free to do it : )

Same problem here. Only installed the gem and now I am forced to login.
