Ruby User Authentication with Rails Adding User Support to Our Application Fixing Our Tests

Create_spec still failing "Email is invalid"

It is complaining about line #4 in the file:

let(:user) { create(:user) }

Can't remember where 'create' came from / was it something we defined in a controller? I think the line is okay, but something is wrong in another file

Hi John,

It might be somewhere but I think let's check your spec_helper.rb under views folder. Make sure you added below:

# put this in line # 21
config.include AuthenticationHelpers::Feature, type: :feature

See example - @2:33

Now check other file again - authenticationhelpers.rb under support from spec folder, see the line # 9 - 16. @3:24

module Feature
 def sign_in(user, options={})
      ... 
     fill_in "Email", with: user.email
     ...
     ...
    end
  end
end

Hope that helps.

Thanks for you help Salman, I already have those 2 things in place, character for character, and I reviewed the videos twice looking for errors ... but still no luck.
I even checked the def create in the User controller

I ended up giving up on that one and just re-downloaded the project files done at that point and now my tests all pass (big surprise)

I don't know if I ever would have figured that one out, and I just want to get through this course and finish it
