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 something but I'm unable to find any related info.

Not an answer to your question, and you probably already know about Railcasts, but I found these video's useful when learning about Devise: railscasts.com/episodes/209-introducing-devise, railscasts.com/episodes/210-customizing-devise. They have a few more really useful videos about Devise on there too. Good luck. - Mike Bethany
Yea i watched them both, but they don't say anything about what i'm asking. - Martin

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

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

Otherwise I'd do this

User.create!({:email => "[email protected]", :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.

You should be able to do this using

u = User.new(:email => "[email protected]", :password => 'password', :password_confirmation => 'password')
u.save

if this returns false, you can call

u.errors

to see what's gone wrong.

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: '[email protected]', password: 'password', password_confirmation: 'password'})
newuser.skip_confirmation!
newuser.save

b. or use confirm! :

newuser = User.new({email: '[email protected]', password: 'password', password_confirmation: 'password'})
newuser.confirm!
newuser.save

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

    u = User.new({
      email: '[email protected]',
      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.

None of the above answers worked for me.

This is what I did:

User.create(email: "[email protected]", password: "asdasd", password_confirmation: "asdasd")

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