how to check the creation of a user? rails4

please help correct test.

its a model User: class User < ActiveRecord::Base   before_save { self.email = email.downcase }   before_create :create_remember_token

  VALID_EMAIL_REGEX = /\A[\w+\-.]+@[a-z\d\-.]+\.[a-z]+\z/i   validates :email, presence: true,                                       format: { with: VALID_EMAIL_REGEX },                                       uniqueness: { case_sensitive: false }   validates :diary_name, presence: true, uniqueness: { case_sensitive: false }   validates :password, length: { minimum: 6 }   validates :name, presence: true, length: { maximum: 50 }, uniqueness: { case_sensitive: false }

  has_secure_password

  has_many :recalls   has_many :posts, dependent: :destroy   belongs_to :gender

  has_attached_file :avatar, :styles => { :large => "300x300>", :medium => "100x100>", :thumb => "30x30>" }   validates_attachment_content_type :avatar, :content_type => ["image/jpg", "image/jpeg", "image/png", "image/gif"]   validates_attachment_file_name :avatar, :matches => [/png\Z/, /jpe?g\Z/, /gif\Z/] end

its a controller UserController: class UsersController < ApplicationController   def new     @user = User.new   end

  def create     @user = User.new(user_params)

    if @user.save       sign_in @user       flash[:success] = "Welcome to the Sample App!"       redirect_to @user     else       flash.now[:error] = 'Invalid data'       render 'new'     end   end

  private

    def user_params       params.require(:user).permit(:name, :email, :diary_name, :password, :gender_id, :password_confirmation, :phone, :skype, :info, :avatar, :delete_avatar)     end end

its a fixture user: one:   name: 'onfge'   email: 'MyStrdfing@ad.ad'   password_digest: '$2a$10$XS2HLwMZxg/7yRKAWd9AJ.afCMra0wGWK4b.FhkY/qo3Lmo/tKEiO'   remember_token: 'dc3461e13c8d316dad22332a503e06edafa0b9cb'   phone: '43535345'   skype: 'gggggg'   gender: one   info: 'MyString'   admin: true   avatar_file_name: nil   avatar_content_type: nil   avatar_file_size: nil

its a fixture genders: one:   gender_name: '-'

two:   gender_name: 'male'

three:   gender_name: 'female'

a test that does not work: class UsersControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase   fixtures :users

  setup do     @user = users(:one)     @input_attributes = {         email: 'yhyhyh@ad.ad',         gender_id: 1,         info: 'u76u67u67u',         name: 'fsdfsdf',         password: 'qwerty',         password_confirmation: 'qwerty',         phone: '435345345',         skype: 'sdggdfgdfgfdgd'     }   end

  test "should create user" do     assert_difference('User.count') do       post :create,       user: @input_attributes     end   end end

after a test run in the console I get the following error message:   1) Failure: UsersControllerTest#test_should_create_user [/home/kalinin/rails/ZSUM/test/controllers/users_controller_test.rb:37]: "User.count" didn't change by 1. Expected: 3   Actual: 2

It is the message that is logged. it is clear that the transaction is rolled back for some strange reason:   [1m[35mUser Load (0.1ms)[0m SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."id" = ?

As has been suggested previously, probably one of your validations is failing. You can use logger.info("some string") to insert output into the log file. If you put those at appropriate points in the controller create method you can find whether save is failing. Then you can investigate which validation is failing.

Just gave this a quick look... What strikes me as odd is this in your User validation: validates :name, presence: true, length: { maximum: 50 },uniqueness: { case_sensitive: false } You want the user name unique yet you do not care about case sensitivity? CAT, cat, Cat, caT....

I guess the OP means that if there already is a use CAT then he does not want to allow another user to be called cat. Not an unreasonable idea I think.

And then you query for: SELECT 1 AS one FROM "users" WHERE LOWER("users"."name") = LOWER('fsdfsdf') LIMIT... That doesn't make sense to me... This strikes me as bad form. Make name case_sensitive: true. And in your SQL, remove LOWER.

The LOWER is used by rails enforce the case insensitivity, it is not something the OP has done explicitly.
