callbacks not working for me (MongoMapper)

[bitzesty]

here is my call back, tried a before_fb_connect but still nothing is set. will try and build a bare bones app to demonstrate the prob.

def after_facebook_connect(fb_session)

  # Just fetch what we really need from Facebook...
  fb_session.user.populate(:locale, :current_location, :username, :name,
                            :first_name, :last_name, :birthday_date, :sex,
                            :city, :state, :country, :relationship_status, :proxied_email)

  self.birthdate      = fb_session.user.birthday_date.try(:to_date)
  self.city           = fb_session.user.hometown_location.try(:city)
  self.country        = fb_session.user.hometown_location.try(:country)
  self.first_name     = fb_session.user.first_name
  self.gender         = fb_session.user.sex
  self.last_name      = fb_session.user.last_name
  self.locale         = fb_session.user.locale
  self.real_name      = fb_session.user.name
  self.relationship_status = fb_session.user.relationship_status    
  self.time_zone      = fb_session.user.current_location.try(:city)
  self.username       = fb_session.user.username
  self.zip_code       = fb_session.user.hometown_location.try(:state)
  self.proxied_email  = fb_session.user.proxied_email

  self.save
end

OK, I'm not running MongoDB locally. Yes, please let me know when you got something to test out.

i've got no idea why this isn't working, but I have a hack - assigning the fb session value to a random variable then to the user attribute works:

 _x = fb_session.user.name
 self.real_name = _x

=o That's weird...but I'm 99.9% sure that's not because of this plugin. Sounds like Facebooker magic. Let me know if you find out why please.

[bitzesty]

facebooker lazy loading or something very weird

[bitzesty]

solved it need to call to_s on facebooker atts on the user object or they will not be saved

[grimen]

Could you elaborate what you mean with a sample?

[bitzesty]

  self.username       = fb_session.user.username.to_s
  self.real_name      = fb_session.user.name.to_s

as opposed to

  self.username       = fb_session.user.username
  self.real_name      = fb_session.user.name

otherwise atlease with mongomapper - it saves nil

[grimen]

Could you reproduce this in a test-app? Easier to report errors in Facebooker mailing list in such case; I asked about this but no-one there seems to see the problem.

its probably a mongomapper issue - closing
