undefined method `persisted?' for true:TrueClass

Question

Im getting this error and im not sure why. There are similar problems like this that couldnt solve my case.

• could be from user = User.where(:email => auth.info.email).first
• could be from where(provider: auth.provider, uid: auth.uid).first_or_create do |user|
• or even on the persisted? part in the omniauth_controller

What could be the possible options or solutions to this error?? thank you!! ^^

Omniauth_controller: where persisted? error takes place at.

def facebook

    puts "1111111111 yayayay"
    # raise request.env["omniauth.params"].inspect

        user = User.from_omniauth((request.env["omniauth.auth"]), (request.env["omniauth.params"]), (request.remote_ip))

        if user.persisted?
      puts "3333333 okayay"
            sign_in_and_redirect @user, :event => :authentication
            set_flash_message(:notice, :success, :kind => "Facebook") if is_navigational_format?
        else
      puts "wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf"
            session["devise.facebook_data"] = request.env["omniauth.auth"]
            redirect_to new_user_registration_url

        end
    end

Your method from_omniauth is returning true because of the line user.save. Return a user at the end like:

def self.from_omniauth(auth, auth_params, request)

  anonymous_username = "NewUser#{User.last.id + 100}"
  generated_password = Devise.friendly_token[0,20]

  user = User.where(:email => auth.info.email).first

  puts "auth params are #{auth_params}"
  puts "user type is #{auth_params["user_type"]}"



  if user
    return user
  else
    where(provider: auth.provider, uid: auth.uid).first_or_create do |user|
      user.confirmed_at = Time.now
      user.fullname = auth.info.name
      user.provider = auth.provider
      user.user_type = auth_params["user_type"]
      user.uid = auth.uid
      user.username = anonymous_username
      user.email = auth.info.email
      if auth.info.image.present?
        avatar_url = process_uri(auth.info.image)
        user.avatar = URI.parse(avatar_url)
      end
      user.password = generated_password
      user.save
    end

#reviser account creation
    user = User.where(:email => auth.info.email).first
    puts "before the if #{user}  and #{user.user_type}"
    if user.user_type == 'reviser'
      puts 'this is reviser starting to create account'
      require "stripe"
