Seeding users with Devise in Ruby on Rails

Arun is right. It's easier just to do this in your seeds.rb

user = User.create! :name => 'John Doe', :email => '[email protected]', :password => 'topsecret', :password_confirmation => 'topsecret'

You have to do like this:

user = User.new
user.email = '[email protected]'
user.encrypted_password = '#$taawktljasktlw4aaglj'
user.save!

Read this guide to understand what mass-assignment is: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/security.html

I am wondering why do have to directly set the encrypted password. You could do this:

user.password = 'valid_password'
user.password_confirmation = 'valid_password'
