I'm creating a rails app that includes devise. I'm trying to add Twilio messaging to my site with Ngrok, i used this tutorial: https://www.twilio.com/blog/2016/04/receive-and-reply-to-sms-in-rails.html
I was able to open Ngrok in the console and get the web-id they give for my url. I keep getting this error when I plug the url into my browser ..I'm supposed to get to my own rails local app. Not sure whats wrong.
What I added in my messaging controller made for ngrok:
class MessagesController < ApplicationController
skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token
skip_before_filter :authenticate_user!, :only => "reply"
def reply
message_body = params["Body"]
from_number = params["From"]
boot_twilio
sms = @client.messages.create(
from: Rails.application.secrets.twilio_number,
to: from_number,
body: "Hello there, thanks for texting me. Your number is #{from_number}."
)
#twilio expects a HTTP response to this request
end
private
def boot_twilio
account_sid = Rails.application.secrets.twilio_sid
auth_token = Rails.application.secrets.twilio_token
@client = Twilio::REST::Client.new account_sid, auth_token
end
end
really unsure what is wrong. when its not connecting to the 'def reply' and authenticate_user should be defined by devise.

It looks like this was a problem that Rails 5 seems to have introduced. If the filter hasn't been defined by the time it is used in a controller it will raise an error. This was discovered in the Clearance project too.
Their fix was to pass the
raise: false
option toskip_before_filter
