Is it possible to skip confirmation email and confirm user?

[Christian Fazzini]

When doing the following:

user = User.create(
:first_name => 'admin',
:last_name => 'admin',
:email => 'foo...@email.com',
:password => 'password1',
:password_confirmation => 'password1'
)

# Confirm the user for Devise
user.confirm!

The above creates the user in the db and confirms the user. However,
in the background, Devise also sends out an email, along the lines of
"Welcome foo...@email.com! You can confirm your account through the
link below: Confirm my account".

Is it possible to skip the confirmation email and just confirm this
user for this instance?

Yes it is: call skip_confirmation! and then save the record

You mean like this:

user = User.create(
:first_name => 'admin',
:last_name => 'admin',
:email => 'foo...@email.com',
:password => 'password1',
:password_confirmation => 'password1'

).skip_confirmation!

IIRC, skip_confirmation! does not save the record, so you'd have to do sth like:

user = User.create(params here)

user.skip_confirmation!

user.save!

[Christian Fazzini]

Nope, that wont work. Devise sends the email when the user is created.
I am still getting confirmation emails. So I don't think it ever
reaches skip_confirmation!

I think .create triggers the email to be sent

On the other hand,

user = User.new(params here)
user.skip_confirmation!
user.save!

Works! :-)

Sure, we were using User.create =D

[Christian Fazzini]

Ok this seems to work for seeds.

Now I am trying to authenticate the user through facebook. I get this
error:

NoMethodError in Devise/oauth callbacksController#facebook
undefined method `persisted?' for true:TrueClass

In my user model, I have:

def self.find_for_facebook_oauth(access_token, signed_in_resource=nil)
data = ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(access_token.get('https://
graph.facebook.com/me?'))

if user = User.find_by_email(data['email'])
user
else
# Create an user with a stub password.
user = User.new(
:email => data['email'],
:first_name => data['first_name'],
:last_name => data['last_name'],
:password => 'password123',
:password_confirmation => 'password123'
)
user.skip_confirmation!
user.save!
end
end

However, with the following code below, everything seems to work...
Why is this error coming up?

Arent both methods the same?

def self.find_for_facebook_oauth(access_token, signed_in_resource=nil)
data = ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(access_token.get('https://
graph.facebook.com/me?'))

if user = User.find_by_email(data['email'])
user
else
# Create an user with a stub password.
user = User.create!(
:email => data['email'],
:first_name => data['first_name'],
:last_name => data['last_name'],
:password => 'password123',
:password_confirmation => 'password123'
)
end
end

The stub method that is given for git and facebook when I saw it in
some blogs, is incorrect, I believe.

You need to return 'user'.
user.save! returns true on success...

To fail gracefully, you return a User instance that you have not saved
to the database, so the version of save that raises an exception is
probably not what you want.

Thanks Alex. Yea, I now have it as:

user = User.new(
:email => data['email'],
:first_name => data['first_name'],
:last_name => data['last_name'],
:password => 'password123',
:password_confirmation => 'password123'
)
user.skip_confirmation!
user.save!

user

I am returning the user object. This seems to work now.

By the way, when I try to use Devise.friendly_token, as such:
User.create!(:email => data['email'], :password =>
Devise.friendly_token), I always get "password is too long, maximum is
20" (or similar message). It seems Devise.friendly_token as given in
the git examples is wrong?

http://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/OAuth2:-Overview
http://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/OAuth2:-Testing

I tried increasing the password limit of Devise to 50 characters, and
Devise.friendly_token still provides a longer type of password...

I guess friendly_token is 60 chars lenght, so you could do sth like: Devise.friendly_token[0,20]

[Alex]

I believe you want to use the non bang version of save as well, this
way you return an unsaved model if save fails, you don't throw an
exception.
