Sentry-ruby: Raven.user_context results in ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken

[atstockland]

I've set up Raven context in my application controller. However user_context results in invalid authenticity token errors. I tried skip_before_action :verify_authenticity_token, only: [:set_raven_context] without success.

I followed Sentry Rails set up directions. Is this a bug or an issue with my set up?

before_action :set_raven_context
def set_raven_context
Raven.user_context(id: current_user&.id)
Raven.extra_context(params: params.to_unsafe_h, url: request.url)
end

changing Raven.user_context(id: current_user&.id) to Raven.user_context(id: 12345) does not create the error. So, Raven.user_context is not erring... But, for some reason passing current_user is throwing an invalid authenticity token. I'm not sure why that would be.

It looks to me that the issue is on the current_user in your app instead of the SDK. So here is probably not the best place to get an answer for it 😄

There are many possible ways to get the InvalidAuthenticityToken error. I suggest you searching for related issues in the Rails repo & the authentication library (like devise) you're using

I had added before_action :set_raven_context above the protect_from_forgery call. Moving the before_action call to below protect_from_forgery solve this issue.
