Method definition and naming conventions in Ruby
ruby-on-rails,ruby,railstutorial.org
I think the methods are named poorly. First of all I would pull the check for activated? into a guard clause in the User class since a non-active user can never be authenticated in my opinion: class User < ActiveRevord::Base # ... def authenticated?(...) return false unless activated? # ......

Theoretically, yes, practically, no. Sure, you can fire up a local web server and write code, but you obviously don't want to write everything yourself, you want to take advantage of ruby's gem package system. This will, obviously require an internet connection.

Post vs Post_via_redirect in Rails 4 not behaving in expected way
ruby-on-rails,ruby-on-rails-4,railstutorial.org
I'm posting here for completeness, but I was able to find my own answer. Here it is: Do the redirection options get lost whenever we call a via_redirect, and thus testing assert_redirected_to @user fails? Yes! Because of the way request_via_redirect works: # File actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/testing/integration.rb, line 92 def request_via_redirect(http_method, path, parameters...
Rails Tutorial Chapter 6 create user error “SELECT 1 AS one FROM ”users“ WHERE LOWER(”users“.”email“) = LOWER('[email protected]') LIMIT 1”
ruby-on-rails,ruby,railstutorial.org
Based on what you've provided, the error you're getting is because there's already a user in your DB with the email address and you have a uniqueness validation on the :email field so you can't save another record with the same email. That's my best guess, if it's wrong, do...
