modifier_id is not set when updating the record

[kotaiahpendurthi]

Hi i am using mongoid-history gem along with the device gem for authentication.

Following is the code snippet in my mongoid-history.rb(initializer)

Mongoid::History.tracker_class_name = :history_tracker
Mongoid::History.current_user_method = :current_user

Following is the code snippet in one of my model

include Mongoid::History::Trackable

telling Mongoid::History how you want to track changes

track_history :track_create => true, # track document creation, default is false
:track_update => true, # track document updates, default is true
:track_destroy => true, # track document destruction, default is false
:changes_method => :changes_with_schedule,
:modifier_field => :modifier

But modifier_id is not updating on updating the record.

Please let me know if i am missing something or modifier field doesn't support the deveice gem

It looks like we removed any automatic current_user code in #83 because the observer functionality, which supported this feature, was removed in Rails 4. It seems like there's still some code lingering here, notably setting current_user_method - @kotaiahpendurthi would you mind making a PR that removes that?

This means you will have to assign the modifier explicitly in your code.

I was just bit by this, trying to set current_user_method and coming up with a blank modifier. It's pretty easy to come across in code, which eventually led me here trying to figure out why the method doesn't do anything. Everything else is working smoothly. 👍
