devise-guests: undefined method `_run_logging_in_user_callbacks'

I’m using this gem on a project and have run into a problem.

I’m using Pundit, and after following their suggestion for passing a user into the config (https://github.com/elabs/pundit#customize-pundit-user) I’m now getting the following error the current_or_guest_user method is called via it:

undefined method `_run_logging_in_user_callbacks'

I think something weird is happening in the gem to cause this error.

I’ve come across this just now too. Conveniently after we put something into prod… Bad form it’s been open this long, but whatever, have got a solution that works for us.

I’ve just defined the current_or_guest_user method directly on my ApplicationController like so:

def current_or_guest_user
    if current_user
      session[:guest_user_id] = nil if session[:guest_user_id]
      current_user
    else
      guest_user
    end
  end

Due to FK contraints the guest user deletion was never working for us anyway, that’s a task for another day.
