I can create, but I can't authenticate the passwords. When trying this following in the Rails Console I end up with an invalid hash (last line):

irb(main):001:0> admin = Admin.new(username: 'screenbeam', email: '[email protected]', password_digest: 'password')
=> #<Admin:0x000055c2cc1fd080 id: nil, username: "screenbeam", email: "[email protected]", password_digest: "[FILTERED]", created_at: nil, updated_at: nil>
irb(main):002:0> admin.save
  TRANSACTION (0.3ms)  BEGIN
  Admin Exists? (0.7ms)  SELECT 1 AS one FROM "admins" WHERE LOWER("admins"."username") = LOWER($1) LIMIT $2  [["username", "screenbeam"], ["LIMIT", 1]]
  Admin Create (0.5ms)  INSERT INTO "admins" ("username", "email", "password_digest", "created_at", "updated_at") VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4, $5) RETURNING "id"  [["username", "screenbeam"], ["email", "[email protected]"], ["password_digest", "[FILTERED]"], ["created_at", "2022-03-25 10:54:35.072350"], ["updated_at", "2022-03-25 10:54:35.072350"]]
  TRANSACTION (9.8ms)  COMMIT
=> true
irb(main):003:0> admin.authenticate('password')

CodePudding user response：

You tried to set the hash directly...

password_digest: 'password'

Need to let has_secure_password do its thing, and just set the password when creating the user...

Admin.new(username: 'screenbeam', email: '[email protected]', password: 'password')
