Devise gem skip confirmation and skip confirmation via email both at once

Question

I am using devise gem and while creating user I want to skip confimation! and skip confimation email for example:

User.create(:first_name => "vidur", :last_name => "punj").confirm!.skip_confirmation!

But it skips only confirmation and doesn't skip sending confirmation email. Can any one give me an idea to skip both.

Answer 1

You need to call skip_confirmation! before you save the record.

Try

user = User.new(:first_name => "blah")
user.skip_confirmation!
user.save

Answer 2

If you are confused where to write skip_confirmation! method in controller as you have not generated devise controllers yet then:

Write this in your User model

before_create :my_method

def my_method
 self.skip_confirmation!
end

Now simply use:

user = User.new(:first_name => "Gagan")
user.save

Answer 3

You are calling User.create before skip_confirmation!, you need to call User.new and user.save later.

Try

  user = User.new(:first_name => "vidur", :last_name => "punj")
  user.skip_confirmation!
  user.save! 

Answer 4

Got the solution:
 @user=User.new(:first_name => "vidur", :last_name => "punj")
 @user.skip_confirmation!
 @user.confirm!
 @user.save

Answer 5

set the confirmed_at field

User.create!(confirmed_at: Time.now, email: '[email protected]', ...)

useful in seeds.rb

User.create_with(name: "Mr T", company: "Comp X", password: 'rubyrubyruby', password_confirmation: 'rubyrubyruby', confirmed_at: Time.now).find_or_create_by!( email: '[email protected]')
