ankane/pretender

This system is a Ruby gem that enables user impersonation within Rails applications, allowing administrators to act as other users. It provides core logic for switching identities and stopping impersonation, with specific support for Action Cable and Mongoid. The library includes comprehensive test coverage and maintains compatibility with modern Rails and Ruby versions.

The core impersonation mechanism has been rewritten to improve security and compatibility. The library now explicitly checks if the user is logged in before attempting to restore an impersonation session, stopping impersonation if the true user is not authenticated. It also handles Mongoid compatibility by converting resource IDs to strings when necessary. Additionally, the loading pattern has been updated to use ActiveSupport hooks, ensuring the methods are available in both Action Controller and Action Cable contexts.

lib · high confidence

Added integration tests for the impersonation feature; Added test fixtures for user impersonation.

New gemfiles (rails72.gemfile and rails80.gemfile) have been added to the gemfiles directory to enable testing against Rails versions 7.2.0 and 8.0.0 respectively. These files configure the necessary dependencies, including the gemspec, rake, minitest, combustion, sqlite3, and the specific Rails version constraints, allowing the CI pipeline to validate compatibility with these releases.

gemfiles · high confidence

The gemspec and Gemfile have been updated to require Ruby 3.3+ and ActionPack 7.2+, with the Gemfile now explicitly pinning Rails 8.1.0 for development and testing. Development dependencies like rake, minitest, and combustion have been moved into the Gemfile, and the gemspec has been cleaned up to use require\_relative and specify files more precisely.

(dependencies) · high confidence

The Pretender library's version constant has been updated from 0.0.1 to 1.0.0. This change reflects the current release version of the library but does not indicate any specific functional changes, new features, or behavioral modifications within the provided code diff.
