Login Issues: After asking Email and Name, app just hangs...

Hi, I think we have the same issue here. Trying to follow the (quite simple) instructions from https://github.com/loomio/loomio-deploy/ (feeling silly ... :| ).

We have no error server side except the following which appears regulary :

loomio_1 | Started GET "/cable" for XXX at 2018-06-15 11:11:02 +0000
loomio_1 | Started GET "/cable/" [WebSocket] for XXX at 2018-06-15 11:11:02 +0000
loomio_1 | Successfully upgraded to WebSocket (REQUEST_METHOD: GET, HTTP_CONNECTION: upgrade, HTTP_UPGRADE: websocket)
loomio_1 | An unauthorized connection attempt was rejected
loomio_1 | Failed to upgrade to WebSocket (REQUEST_METHOD: GET, HTTP_CONNECTION: upgrade, HTTP_UPGRADE: websocket)
loomio_1 | Finished "/cable/" [WebSocket] for XXX at 2018-06-15 11:11:02 +0000
loomio_1 | Finished "/cable/" [WebSocket] for XXX at 2018-06-15 11:11:02 +0000


Clicking the "create account" button triggers a POST to /ahoy/events wich responds '{}' and nothing else appears anywhere, server side or client side.

N.B. : at the first time we visit the website, we have an error (Cf. attached file) but I think this could normal as we have no account for now.

Thank you.

Hi everyone, hi @alexcoopalim , I issue the exact same errors. Have you been lucky to get it working after all? May you be so kind and share your solution if existing? Thank you in advance!

I got it working for my case. At mine it was a proxy removing all cookies on the transit to loomio server.

So, I'm gathering from the OP that i must have missed a default email i am supposed to use for my local instance (i cant move past the initial authentication). Anywhere to recover said email, or is the process different at this point?

Just create a new account the way any new user would. There is no default email/user account. You can then rails c into the server and User.find_by(email: "your@email.com").update(is_admin: 1) to get admin privileges.

Hope that helps.

Hi Robert, thanks for the tip. Tried this, got a successful update, but trying to log in again I am still stuck on this screen:

Obviously, I am not receiving an email, and I don't see any other routes of logging in.

PS my apologies if the solution to this is a simple workaround in rails, I am still learning the framework but am trying to get a baseline sandbox to start out with!

Oh no!

Have you configured your SMTP settings in your env file?
You should see errors in your logs. (run docker-compose logs to see)

Sorry, I should have clarified: I followed the local dev setup instructions (not the docker deploy) which did not contain any references about spinning up through docker or about SMTP. I guess i should look into setting up an SMTP in a local install? Or is there a container i can use locally? Or other workaround?

Oh, brilliant!

On localhost you can access dev urls like:
http://localhost:3000/dev/setup_group

whichv creates a testing group and logs you in.

There is a complete list of development routes here:
http://localhost:3000/dev/

Warning: It's a new person trap to forget the trailing slash when entering these urls, if you do this, you'll find that the links just 404.

Thanks SO much!!! Question: Is this common RoR/web dev practice, or is it in the documentation somewhere I'm missing?? Might be a good idea to include on the setup page! Let me know if i should set up a PR on the documentation :)

Please do make a PR on the docs. That would be great.
