When I tried to set up discourse in my local machine following the below article: [Install Discourse on macOS for development](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-install-discourse-on-macos-for-development/15772). Set up is fine and the discourse is running locally. But when I enable discourse-connect to use [discourse connect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) authentication following the below article: [Setup DiscourseConnect - Official Single-Sign-On for Discourse (sso)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourseconnect-official-single-sign-on-for-discourse-sso/13045) After this setup, if I tried to click on login button, am getting the error as follows 🙂 **# NoMethodError in DevelopmentAuth::FakeDiscourseConnectController#auth** **undefined method `is\_allowed?’ for #DevelopmentAuth::FakeDiscourseConnectController:0x00007f9e1e8ec3a8** Please help me to resolve this issue and make [discourse connect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) work in local instance. I have also attached the error screenshot FYR.
