The warning about not setting whodunnit

After upgrading to PaperTrail 5, you see this warning:

user_for_paper_trail is present, but whodunnit has not been set. PaperTrail no longer adds the set_paper_trail_whodunnit before_action for you. Please add this before_action to your ApplicationController to continue recording whodunnit.

You want to track whodunnit

Add the set_paper_trail_whodunnit before_action to your ApplicationController. See the PaperTrail readme for an example (https://git.io/vrsbt).

You don't want to track whodunnit

If you no longer want to track whodunnit, you may disable this warning by overriding user_for_paper_trail to return nil.

# in application_controller.rb
def user_for_paper_trail
  nil # disable whodunnit tracking
end

You just want the warning to go away

To disable this warning for any other reason, use skip_after_action.

skip_after_action :warn_about_not_setting_whodunnit
