Create a devise user from Ruby console

Question

Any idea on how to create and save a new User object with devise from the ruby console?

When I tried to save it, I\'m getting always false. I guess I\'m missing some

Answer 1

If you want to avoid sending confirmation emails, the best choice is:

    u = User.new({
      email: 'demo@greenant.com.br',
      password: '12feijaocomarroz',
      password_confirmation: '12feijaocomarroz'
    })

    u.confirm
    u.save

So if you're using a fake email or have no internet connection, that'll avoid errors.

Answer 2

When on your model has :confirmable option this mean the object user should be confirm first. You can do two ways to save user.

a. first is skip confirmation:

newuser = User.new({email: 'superadmin1@testing.com', password: 'password', password_confirmation: 'password'})
newuser.skip_confirmation!
newuser.save

b. or use confirm! :

newuser = User.new({email: 'superadmin2@testing.com', password: 'password', password_confirmation: 'password'})
newuser.confirm!
newuser.save

Answer 3

None of the above answers worked for me.

This is what I did:

User.create(email: "a@a.com", password: "asdasd", password_confirmation: "asdasd")

Keep in mind that the password must be bigger than 6 characters.

Answer 4

You should be able to do this using

u = User.new(:email => "user@name.com", :password => 'password', :password_confirmation => 'password')
u.save

if this returns false, you can call

u.errors

to see what's gone wrong.

Answer 5

You can add false to the save method to skip the validations if you want.

User.new({:email => "guy@gmail.com", :roles => ["admin"], :password => "111111", :password_confirmation => "111111" }).save(false)

Otherwise I'd do this

User.create!({:email => "guy@gmail.com", :roles => ["admin"], :password => "111111", :password_confirmation => "111111" })

If you have confirmable module enabled for devise, make sure you are setting the confirmed_at value to something like Time.now while creating.
