Remove the Devise::Models::Confirmable#confirm! method, use confirm instead.

Code below also prevents mailers from being generated thanks to after(:build) vs after(:create) for setting confirmed_at

FactoryGirl.define do
  factory :user do
    after(:build)   { |u| u.skip_confirmation_notification! }
    after(:create)  { |u| u.confirm }
    ...
  end
end
