Undefined method `user_confirmation_url'

[tiopi]

Describe the bug

I am unable to resolve the user_confirmation_url. I get

ActionView::Template::Error (undefined method `user_confirmation_url' for #<ActionDispatch::Routing::RoutesProxy:0x00007f9f7f2a8cf0 @scope=#<TestMailer:0x00000000008fe8>, @routes=#<ActionDispatch::Routing::RouteSet:0x00007f9f76d11b00>, @helpers=#<Module:0x00007f9f737efe40>, @script_namer=nil>)

when I try to access a user.send_confirmation_instructions. Am I missing something, and if so how can I go about debugging this issue?

Steps to reproduce

(Write your steps here:)

1. Setup graphql-devise
2. Use the graphql loader:

   use GraphqlDevise::SchemaPlugin.new(
   query: Types::QueryType,
   mutation: Types::MutationType,
   resource_loaders: [
     GraphqlDevise::ResourceLoader.new(
       "User",
       operations: {
         sign_up: Users::CreateMutation
       }
     )
   ]
   )

3. Call user.send_confirmation_instructions in console for a user that requires a confirmation.

Expected behavior

The email would get sent out with a confirmation code.

Actual behavior

Got an error about user_confirmation_url not found.

Reproducible demo

TBD.

Hi @tiopi , this looks like this devise issue. That method is not added by this gem but Devise.

I noticed the issue does disappear when I added devise_for :users in my routes. I thought that adding items like
:confirm_account and such setup the routes required.

Hey @tiopi! Actually you should never need the missing method user_confirmation_url if you are only using this gem. If you are calling the send confirmation instructions manually, take a look at our mutation as you need to pass additional params in order for the method to use our email templates https://github.com/graphql-devise/graphql_devise/blob/590222d2622e9c209ba794450862191d1d89f456/lib/graphql_devise/mutations/sign_up.rb#L33

If you are using the newer password recovery flow no need to pass schema_url to the send_confirmation_instructions method. Let me know if that was it.

Oh this looks about right. I was using send_confirmation without any arguments. Will the redirect url setup the graphql query?

[mcelicalderon]

It depends on the password recovery flow you use. For the preferred one the redirect_url is a client url that will be contained in the email together with the reset password token. Take a look at this as reference. Also take a look at both our reset password mutations to see how the send_confirmation_instructions is used.

Closing this one as it looks like the problem was resolved. Feel free to reopen if you found something else ;)
