Can't get Oauth facebook cookies using Koala for connecting to Facebook (with Rails)

I'm using Rails 3.0.9. Trying to login to my (localhost) site through Facebook.

My init params on the login page:

FB.init({
      appId : '<%= FB_APP_ID %>',
      status : true,
      cookie : true,
      xfbml : true
});

The login button works, I get the Facebook login popup and I can successfully log in to Facebook. Then the following event is reached:

FB.Event.subscribe('auth.sessionChange', function(response) {
    if (response.session) {location.href= ...}

And I'm being redirected to the wanted location. But - can't get any cookies of "fbs_" or "fbsr_" like the Oauth is looking for at: get_user_info_from_cookie(cookies)

My cookies = {}, nothing there. In a few occasions, I recall I did have some facebook cookies there, I can't reconstruct such case, but anyway, it didn't include the "fbs_" ones, only others.

Also, after logging in, when I go back to Facebook tab on the browser and refresh, it does show me my Facebook page, but after a second, it shows a popup says "you need to log in". In my app though, it still knows to keep directing me to the wanted href, like needed when a user is logged in.

I would really love to hear if you have anything that can help me... :-)

Thanks, Moozly.

if you want to use localhost for facebook development, add "127.0.0.1 localhost.local" record to your /etc/hosts file, change domain in application settings in developers.facebook.com and point browser to this url - it works flawlessly

Just wanted to update to say that I had solved my problem:

  1. I had added to the init the param: oauth : true:

    FB.init({
    appId : '<%= FB_APP_ID %>',
    status : true,
    cookie : true,
    xfbml : true,
    oauth : true
});

  2. Apparently, there is a bug with adding the parameters added in js.src, so I removed them(!) and problem was solved:

    (function(d, s, id) {
    var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
    if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
    js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
    js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js" //removed: #xfbml=1&appId=<%= FB_APP_ID %>";
    fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}
(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));

That solved the cookies problem for me!
