How to Skip Devise Confirmation email using SeedFu gem

votes

I'm using the Seed-Fu gem to populate my database. So, I have this in one of my seed files:

User.seed_once(:email) do |user|
  user.id = 1
  user.email = "[email protected]"
  user.first_name = "First"
  user.last_name = "Last"
  user.confirmation_sent_at = Time.zone.now - 1.hour
  user.confirmed_at = Time.zone.now
  user.roles = [root,staff]
  user.permissions = Permission.all
end

From what I've read, that should prevent Devise from sending a confirmation email. However, it is not, so (since I'm using the Letter Opener gem) my browser is being flooded with confirmation emails. Anyone know why this is happening and how I can convince Devise to not send these emails whilst I'm seeding?

SOLUTION:

Based on anothermh's answer below, I added Devise::Mailer.perform_deliveries = false to the top of this fixture file. Then, I found my final fixture file and added Devise::Mailer.perform_deliveries = true to the end of that to make sure emails would be sent when actually using the app. Thank you so much, folks!

You just need to call the confirm method on user object. See the below code

user.confirm

So in your case the code will be like

User.seed_once(:email) do |user|
  user.id = 1
  user.email = "[email protected]"
  user.first_name = "First"
  user.last_name = "Last"
  user.confirm 
  user.roles = [root,staff]
  user.permissions = Permission.all
end

You can turn off email sends from Devise in tests. Specifically, you'll need to have this set somewhere:

Devise::Mailer.delivery_method = :test
Devise::Mailer.perform_deliveries = false

For example, if you're doing this with rspec then you would likely put it into spec/rails_helper.rb.
