Activeadmin: Cannot create custom authentication or use 'authenticate_admin_user!' or 'current_admin_user': ActionView::Template::Error: undefined method: destroy_admin_user_session_path
When creating authentication according to docs using authenticate_admin_user! or current_admin_user, it generates a template error. It works if those settings are commented out (but without authentication then).
No similar bugs: https://github.com/activeadmin/activeadmin/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+ActionView%3A%3ATemplate%3A%3AError%3A+undefined+method
Expected behavior
I expect it to load the dashboard after I log in.
Actual behavior
It crashes.
How to reproduce
Provide the correct password, set the session, then it gives an error page.
routes.rb
get :login, controller: :index
post :login_post, controller: :index
application_controller.rb
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
protect_from_forgery with: :exception
def authenticate_admin_user!
puts session[:user].inspect
redirect_to login_path unless session[:user] && session[:user]["admin"] == true
end
def current_admin_user
session[:user]
end
end
config/initalizers/active_admin.rb
config.authentication_method = :authenticate_admin_user!
config.current_user_method = :current_admin_user
index_controller.rb
class IndexController < ApplicationController
def login_post
if Digest::SHA256.base64digest(params[:password]) == "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx="
session[:user] = {"admin" => true}
redirect_to admin_root_path
else
flash.now.alert = 'Invalid password.'
render :login
end

ActiveAdmin loads fine with config.authentication_method and config.current_user_method commented.

I did, but there is no reason it should crash, and no reason it shouldn't explain in the documentation how to add your own custom authentication.
