Using Authie in route middleware

I'm not using it anymore indeed, but thanks for providing the answer to my question @skylarmacdonald! At least it will help the community to find the answer :)!

Small update;

Whenever I tried to implement the current logic from the Authie::RackController myself inside the class, it all seems to work. So, it might be an autoload thing.

class UserKindConstraint
  class RackController
    def initialize(request)
      @env = request.env
      @request = request
    end

    def auth_session
      @auth_session ||= Authie::Session.get_session(self)
    end

    def current_user
      auth_session.user if auth_session.is_a?(Authie::Session)
    end
  end

  def initialize(user_type)
    @user_type = user_type
  end

  # Only returns true if there is a session with a user_id in it, if the user
  # can be found, and that user has the proper kind. False in every other case.
  def matches?(request)
    controller = RackController.new(request)
    current_user = controller.current_user
    current_user && current_user.send("#{@user_type}?".to_sym)
  end
end

This is two years later, so I don't know if you're still having this problem (or even still using Authie), but I found that adding this:

require 'authie/rack_controller'

at the top of my constraint file did the trick. It doesn't look like the gem loads that class by default.
