Hi Denny & list,
Have you tried turning it off and then on again? ;)
Repeatedly :)
More seriously, I have found on multiple occasions that the Catalyst
Auth stuff can seem to get itself into an inconsistent state, such that
it starts behaving oddly (usually mine will successfully log in, but
fail to keep track of that fact), and the only way to fix it is to
delete the contents of the session store (database, in my case), delete
all the cookies for the site, and possibly wipe the browser cache too.
Other than that I'm not sure what to suggest. Where does the auto
return to? Is it possible it's coming back from there to before the
dashboard redirect, and so the redirect URL is getting overwritten
before the output is constructed? (I've not used auto, so no idea if
this is a stupid question or not.)
On the off-hand of being wrong, as far as I know, auto is called before
anything else is really done, so your dispatch chain ends up going
auto -> action -> end
I think. Anyways, I did clear the session store, zapped all the cookies, and
the behaviour's still there. I did some Data::Dumper action, and even after
the RenderView action class had it's way with things, the status is still set
to 302, a Location header is present in the output, but it did render the
template that it's not supposed to render.
Even if I do a "$c->detach('end') and return 0", it will render a template,
which by all accounts, it's not supposed to be doing.
Doing a telnet to the dev server and querying it does return the proper
headers for a redirect as well; Status: 302 and Location: /login - but it also
renders the output body, for some really freaky reason.
The main issue for me is that this behaviour seems to be triggered by
something I did in controller code somewhere, but I could swear up and down
that I haven't done anything that touches even remotely near authentication or
the Auth guts, so I'm totally and utterly stumped. And it's kind of important
this works, deadlines and such things :(
