Custom authentication for Blazer (Rails)

Where do I define authenticate! to get custom authentication for Blazer?

I have this (uncommented) line in my config/blazer.yml (as described in the README under Authentication > Other):

before_action: :authenticate!

When I refresh my app, I get this error:

NoMethodError at / undefined method 'authenticate!' for #<Blazer::QueriesController:0x007ffe26447830>

That class is defined by the Blazer gem. Am I supposed to add/redefine its authenticate! method somehow?

I tried adding an initializers/blazer.rb file where I defined:

class Blazer::QueriesController < Blazer::BaseController
  def authenticate!
    true
  end
end

But now, when I click "New Query" in Blazer, I get this error:

NoMethodError in Blazer::Queries#new undefined method `errors' for nil:NilClass

Rails 4.2.5, Blazer 1.8.0

You should add your custom method into application_controller.rb. You then put the name of the method into config/blazer.yml to wire it up.

I would recommend using Devise for authentication. The Devise wiki has a great starting article here. The engine and routes of blazer must also be protected as demonstrated here.
