Seeding users with Devise in Ruby on Rails

Question

In my development and test environments, I want to seed the database with a bunch of users. I\'m using Ruby on Rails v3.2.8 and the latest Devise. So I added this line in

Answer 1

Don't try create the encrypted password, devise handles that for you. This will work, just make sure the password is a minimum 6 characters long.

User.create(
        email: "test@test.com",
        password: "123456"
    )

Even better, in your terminal:

$bundle add faker

Then:

User.create(
            email: test@test.com,
            password: "123456"
        )
10.times do
  User.create(
              email: Faker::Internet.email,
              password: "123456"
           )
end

Just make sure you set at least one email in your seeds that you can remember. Hence retaining the 'test' email.

I Did something same in one of my requirements so just pasting my snippet

def triggerSeedUsers
      p "Starting Seeding Users..."
      p   "Deleting all users"..
      User.destroy_all
      normal_users = [{:email => 'abc@domain.com', :login => "abc_demo", :name => 'abc Demo'}]
      admin_users = [{:email => 'admin@domain.com', :login => 'abc_admin', :name => 'abc Admin'}]

      [normal_users,admin_users].each do |user_type|
        user_type.each do |user|
          User.create!(:name => user[:name],
            :login => user[:login],
            :email => user[:email],
            :first_login => false,
            :password => 'P@ssw0rd',
            :password_confirmation => 'P@ssw0rd'
            )
        end
      end
      User.where('name LIKE ?', '%demo%').update_all(:is_admin => 0)
      User.where('name LIKE ?', '%admin%').update_all(:is_admin => 1)
     end
