I need to encrypt passwords for storage in the db and then decrypt them
for use later. I just generated a sandbox app to try the Sentry gem
which looks perfect for this. But I’m getting this error when I access
the app:
undefined method `generates_crypted’ for Filepassword:Class
I’ve got the gem installed.
------ Filepassword.rb contains ---------
class Filepassword < ActiveRecord::Base
generates_crypted :password, :mode => :symmetric
end
--------- create.rb (the scaffolded controller) contains --------
class CreateController < ApplicationController
require ‘sentry’
-------- the SQL script contains ---------
drop table if exists filepasswords;
create table filepasswords (
id int not null
auto_increment,
password varchar(50) null,
status varchar(7) null default ‘’,
primary key (id)
) engine=InnoDB;
I’m running Rails 1.2.2 via Instant Rails 1.5
Anybody with any experience with the Sentry gem see something obvious?
It looks like exactly what I need at the moment, if I could just get it
to work.

I quit updating the gems a long time ago when a) the upload script i
was using broke, and b) jamis commited the plugins [RESEARCH] patch.
I suppose I should just take those rubyforge projects down then.

Thanks. Will do. Awsome tool. Much appreciated.
Cool, hope it still works. Patches are welcome if you find it needs a
little freshening up to still look appealing next to the young, hip
rails 1.2 plugins.
I uninstalled the Sentry gem and installed the Sentry plugin. After
creating a database named sentry_plugin_test, I tried to run the tests
using:
C:\InstantRails-1.5\rails_apps\sandbox>rake test DB=mysql --trace
and am getting:
(in C:/InstantRails-1.5/rails_apps/sandbox)
rake aborted!
no such file to load – sentry

“I ran across this after installing the sentry plugin (that’s why
technoweenie is cc’d). Once the plugin was installed, I couldn’t run any
rake tasks because “require ‘sentry’” in task/sentry.rake blows up when
it
is loaded by railties/lib/tasks/rails.rb. It blows up because the
plugin’s
lib directory is not in the load path. I copied the load path munging
for
plugins out of initializer.rb and put it in railties/lib/tasks/rails.rb
and
everything worked fine.”
I could use some help understanding a) what the ‘railties’ directory is
/
contains as I’ve not run across it before, and b) if this approach would
work on my hosted VPS system. The limited ability I have to parse the
above
makes it look to me like the equivalent on my setup would have me
modifying
ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.2/lib/tasks/rails.rb which I’m
pretty
sure I do not have access to on my hosted system. Is there some other
way
to fix this?
Any help from anybody with experience using this plugin would be really
appreciated.

In case anyone found this article in 2020 and is struggling with similar errors, my friend published a quite comprehensive guide on Sentry configuration with RoR
