From a situation that arose at Railscamp ‘07 v2...
Have an OpenID app that you’re wanting to develop offline but you can’t because the open_id_authentication plugin needs to perform the remote authentication? It’s simply a matter of redefining, aka mocking, theauthenticate_with_open_id method.
In your config/environments/development.rb append:
config.after_initialize do
require 'openid_auth_mock'
endand create the corresponding lib/openid_auth_mock.rb file containing:
# Mocks the OpenID auth to always return :successful
OpenIdAuthentication.module_eval do
protected
def authenticate_with_open_id(identity_url, fields)
yield OpenIdAuthentication::Result[:successful], identity_url, nil
end
endVoilà!
