User Registration - "email address already in use" when it is unique

[johnzw89]

Hello,

I started with just devise and now am integrating this gem and ng-token-auth. I got sign in working, but for sign up, the API constantly returns email is not unique, when I can create a new user in the console with exact credentials.

UserRegistrationsController registration form submit function

$scope.submitRegistration = function (credentials){
      credentials.password_confirmation = reg_form.password;
      credentials.provider = 'email';

      $auth.submitRegistration(credentials).then(function(resp) { 
      console.log(resp);
    }).catch(function(resp) { 
      // handle error response
      console.log(resp);
    });
}

I am customizing the registration controller because I need to gate users with a code for private beta release, so I set a custom route to point to the controller:

routes.rb

namespace 'api' do
    scope 'v1' do
      mount_devise_token_auth_for 'User', at: 'auth', defaults: {format: :json}, controllers: {
        ....
        registrations:      'token_auth_override/registrations', #CUSTOM
        ....
      }
    end
end

I am setting the strong params in the application_controller, as recommended in the docs both here and devise:
application_controller.rb

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  include ActionController::MimeResponds
  protect_from_forgery

  respond_to :html, :json
  before_action :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?

  protected

  def configure_permitted_parameters
     devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) { |u| u.permit(:alias, :invite_code, :first_name, :last_name, :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :bio, :youtube_url, :personal_url, :twitter_url, :facebook_url, :user_profile_pic, :provider) }
  end
end

registration request from the client hit this controller in
token_auth_override/registrations_controller.rb

class TokenAuthOverride::RegistrationsController < DeviseTokenAuth::RegistrationsController
    include DeviseTokenAuth::Concerns::SetUserByToken
    before_action :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?

  respond_to :json
  def create

    invite_code = SignUpCode.find_by_code_string(params[:invite_code])
        if invite_code && invite_code.active?
            @user = User.new(
                email: params[:email],
                first_name: params[:first_name],
                last_name: params[:last_name],
                provider: params[:provider],
                password: params[:password],
                password_confirmation: params[:password_confirmation]
            )
            @user.level = invite_code.level

            if @user.save
                # sign user in
                sign_in(@user)
                invite_code.increment
                respond_to do |format|
                    format.json { render json: @user }
                end
            else
                render json: {
          status: 'error',
          errors: @user.errors,
          data: @user,
          valid: @user.valid?
        }, status: 403
            end
        else
            # message that code is invalid
            respond_to do |format|
                    format.json { render json: {message: 'Invite code invalid'}, status: :precondition_failed }
            end
        end
  end
end

json response looks something like this:

data: {id: null, email: "test12312@test.com", created_at: "2015-05-01T23:21:04.492Z",…}
errors: {email: ["This email address is already in use"]}
status: "error"
valid: false

Oddly, if i remove include DeviseTokenAuth::Concerns::User in my user.rb model, I do not run into this error. I'd be happy to provide any additional snippets.

Thanks in advance for any help/thoughts. Been struggling to get this working for a while now...

going to close this since I've gone with the path of building oauth functionality from scratch

$scope.submitRegistration = function (credentials){
credentials.password_confirmation = reg_form.password;
credentials.provider = 'email';

  $auth.submitRegistration(credentials).then(function(resp) { 
  console.log(resp);
}).catch(function(resp) { 
  // handle error response
  console.log(resp);
});

}
