Always the same pass

[matthijsvdr]

Found the gem on google, and tryed it out.

But when i create a the first pass everything works fine. But the second pass from the same template generates the same serial number and auth token? Also in the sqlite database only one pass shows up, with one registration.

Is this the correct behaviour? Or is something going wrong?

you have 2 endpoints: 1) issuing passes something like this

post "/v1/passes/get_ticket" => "Passbook::passes#get_pkpass", :defaults => { :pass_type_id => 'pass.company.ticket' }

2) getting pkpass based on serial number (this one is in the gem)

which one are you calling?

if its 1), then the likelihood is that your problem is in the model you created for the pass make sure you have something like

  before_create :set_pass_fields

  def set_pass_fields
    self.authentication_token = Base64.urlsafe_encode64(SecureRandom.base64(36))
    self.serial_number = Base64.urlsafe_encode64(SecureRandom.base64(36))
  end

  def self.update_or_create params
  ...

  def update_pass pkpass
    update_json pkpass.json
  end

  def update_json pass_json
    pass_json['authenticationToken'] = authentication_token
    pass_json['serialNumber'] = serial_number
    ...

the model looks like that, i only changed the update_json with an extra value, everything else in there is the default. When i open the url localhost:3000/v1/passes/card (card is my model name) i always get the same pass with the same authentication_token and serial_number.

Isn't it suppose to change ever time its called? and create a new pass with a differed authentication_token and serial_number?

class Card < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_protected :serial_number, :authentication_token
  attr_accessible :card_id
  before_create :set_pass_fields

  def set_pass_fields
    self.authentication_token = Base64.urlsafe_encode64(SecureRandom.base64(36))
    self.serial_number||= Base64.urlsafe_encode64(SecureRandom.base64(36))
  end

  def self.update_or_create params
    card_pass = find_by_card_id params[:card_id]
    card_pass ||=new
    params.slice(*attr_accessible[:default].map(&:to_sym)).each do |attr, val|
      card_pass.send :"#{attr}=", val
    end
    card_pass.save!
    card_pass
  end

  def check_for_updates

  end

  def update_pass pkpass
    update_json pkpass.json
  end
  def update_json pass_json    
    puts authentication_token
    puts serial_number
    pass_json['authenticationToken'] = authentication_token
    pass_json['serialNumber'] = serial_number
    #don't forget to change the URL to whatever address your server is at
    pass_json['webServiceURL'] = "http://10.10.4.127:3000"
    #add more customization to your passbook's JSON right here

    storeCard =  pass_json['storeCard']
    auxFields = storeCard['auxiliaryFields']

    auxFields[1]['value'] = DateTime.now + 12.month
  end
end

Do you do a

POST localhost:3000/v1/passes/card

and then pass card_id in your payload?

paste in the line from your routes.rb for that endpoint
