A few non backwards compatible changes have been made that are really easy to fix. If you are upgrading a oauth_consumer from 0.3.x to 0.4.x add the following line to your consumer_token model: belongs_to :user So it looks like this: require 'oauth/models/consumers/token' class ConsumerToken < ActiveRecord::Base include Oauth::Models::Consumers::Token belongs_to :user end You should also upgrade your oauth_consumer_controller as we no longer call login_required in the library. This should make it easier for implementing it with other authentication frameworks: require 'oauth/controllers/consumer_controller' class OauthConsumersController < ApplicationController include Oauth::Controllers::ConsumerController # Replace this with the equivalent for your authentication framework before_filter :login_required, :only=>:index
