undefined local variable or method `resource' for SchoolAuthorizer:Class

[shlomizadok]

Hi, I try using authority (great gem and concept). I have followed the readme. When I try to check an instance, I get the following error:

undefined local variable or method `resource' for SchoolAuthorizer:Class

My Group model looks like:

class Group < ActiveRecord::Base

  resourcify
  include Authority::Abilities
  self.authorizer_name = 'SchoolAuthorizer'
  ...

My GroupController looks like:

class GroupsController < ApplicationController
  authorize_actions_for Group
  ...
  def show
    @group = Group.find(params[:id])
    authorize_action_for @group
    @users = @group.users.where("first_name ilike :name OR last_name ilike :name", {:name => "%%#{@q}%%"}).paginate(:page => params[:page], :per_page => params[:limit] || Settings.users_per_page)
    @title = @group.name
  end

And my SchoolAuthorizer:

class SchoolAuthorizer < ApplicationAuthorizer
  def self.creatable_by?(user)
    user.has_role?("admin")
  end

  def self.readable_by?(user)
    true
  end

  def self.updatable_by?(user)
    user.has_role?("admin", resource)
  end
end

And I get the error above (undefined local variable or method `resource' for SchoolAuthorizer:Class ) What am I doing wrong? Thanks for helping

Hey @shlomizadok,

resource isn't available in the class methods (as it get's passed in when creating in instance). If change your updatable_by? method to an instance method (remove the self. it) you'll be able to use that code for authorizing resources. Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!
