Issue when trying to follow "Disable registration" from the documentation #175

Closed JayPeet closed 4 years ago

JayPeet commented 4 years ago

Hello!

My understanding of https://hexdocs.pm/pow_assent/README.html#disable-registration is that when a user authenticates via a provider, Pow Assent won't try and register a new user if the user wasn't signed in. However, when my none authenticated connection returns from the provider, it navigates to /sessions/new and presents the flash error message "Something went wrong, and you couldn't be signed in. Please try again."

In the log, it looks like Pow Assent did some DB query phoenix_output.txt

Does anyone have any idea where I went wrong, or is my understanding of what Disable Registration does incorrect?

Thank you for your time :) -JXP

That's the expected behavior. The DB query is the lookup. If nothing is found, then the user is redirected to sign in with the could_not_sign_in flash message instead of creating a new user.

Ahhhh I see. The functionality I am trying to accomplish is having the user auth with the provider each time they visit the website without requiring an actual account with us. Is this something which is currently possible, is it not advised or something that I would need to implement myself.

I'm just really dumb, I never tried it with registration enabled.

With registration enabled it adds a user and a user_identity for you. The user can then optionally add a password to the pow account.

Sorry for the trouble, thanks for making such a useful library :)
