ArgumentError in DeviseTokenAuth::ConfirmationsController#show

[legolytics]

We have rails backend and backbone on the front-end. I am trying to use devise_token_auth to work with devise user authentications with tokens.

I have a form on the backbone for new user registration. I am creating a new record in User model and some other records and setting up proper relationships between users and internal objects such as organization etc..

Now users are getting confirmation email. When they click on the link, actual confirmation was successful on the rails side, but I am getting the following error on the backbone side.

I set the following in devise_token_auth.rb initializer file thinking that it needs confirm_succes_url, but it did not help.

  config.default_confirm_success_url = "http://medl.io"

confirmation url looks like this.

http://localhost:4000/auth/confirmation?config=&confirmation_token=ribwBQNszgcxRgrx-6w9

bad argument (expected URI object or URI string)

I had generated the devise views myself. Inside the confirmation link I added the redirect_url as a param.

app/views/devise/mailer/confirmation_email.erb
Manual Fix:

    <p><%= link_to 'Confirm my account', confirmation_url(@resource, confirmation_token: @token, redirect_url: root_url) %></p>

This meant that the render didn't collapse when trying to get the redirect_url.

Automatic fix:
rails generate devise_token_auth:install_views

You will get the correct views.

<%= link_to 'Confirm my account', confirmation_url(@resource, {confirmation_token: @token, config: message['client-config'].to_s, redirect_url: message['redirect-url']}).html_safe %>

Seems to be a solution here/no activity. Closing for now.
