Rails 5: ActiveRecord not creating record - ruby-on-rails

Question

I'm working on a modified version of Michael Hartl's Learn Rails Tutorial. I'm on chapter 6, modeling users. For some reason, my users aren't creating correctly on ActiveRecord and aren't saving at all.
I placed these users in my seeds.rb file
user_1 = User.create(id: 1, name: 'Han Solo', email: 'han#example.com')
user_2 = User.create(id: 2, name: 'Luke Skywalker', email: 'luke#example.com')
Then I run rails db:seed, but if I go to my rails console, it appears like no users have been created:

#Ensure Email Uniqueness by Downcasing the Email Attribute
before_save {self.email = email.downcase }
#validates name, presence, and length

#Validate presence, length, format, and uniqueness (ignoring case)
VALID_EMAIL_REGEX = /\A[\w+\-.]+#[a-z\d\-.]+\.[a-z]+\z/i
validates :email, presence: true, length: {maximum: 250}, format: {with: VALID_EMAIL_REGEX }, uniqueness: {case_sensitive: false}
#Adds ability to save securely hashed password_digest attribute to database
#Adds a pair of virtual attributes (password and password_confirmation)
#including presence validations upon object creation and a validation
#requiring that they match
#adds authenticate method that returns the user when the password is correct (and false otherwise)

/x
validates :password, presence: true, length: {minimum: 8}, format: {with: PASSWORD_FORMAT}
end
schema.rb
ActiveRecord::Schema.define(version: 20161020211218) do
# These are extensions that must be enabled in order to support this database
enable_extension "plpgsql"
create_table "users", force: :cascade do |t|
t.string "name"
t.string "email"
t.datetime "created_at", null: false
t.datetime "updated_at", null: false
t.string "password_digest"
t.index ["email"], name: "index_users_on_email", unique: true, using: :btree
end
end
Anyone have any idea what might be going on?

Answer 1

Ok, I figured it out.
I took out id from the seeds.rb. When I took out the id attribute, it started throwing me the error of the user not having a valid password. I then added a password and password confirmation to conform to password standards set in my user model.
Updated my model and added a password confirmation.
Here's my updated user.rb
class User < ApplicationRecord
#Ensure Email Uniqueness by Downcasing the Email Attribute
before_save {self.email = email.downcase }
#validates name, presence, and length
validates :name, presence: true, length: { maximum: 100 }
#Validate presence, length, format, and uniqueness (ignoring case)
VALID_EMAIL_REGEX = /\A[\w+\-.]+#[a-z\d\-.]+\.[a-z]+\z/i
validates :email, presence: true, length: {maximum: 250}, format: {with: VALID_EMAIL_REGEX }, uniqueness: {case_sensitive: false}
#Adds ability to save securely hashed password_digest attribute to database
#Adds a pair of virtual attributes (password and password_confirmation)
#including presence validations upon object creation and a validation
#requiring that they match
#adds authenticate method that returns the user when the password is correct (and false otherwise)
has_secure_password
PASSWORD_FORMAT = /\A
(?=.{8,}) # Must contain 8 or more characters
(?=.*\d) # Must contain a digit
(?=.*[a-z]) # Must contain a lower case character
(?=.*[A-Z]) # Must contain an upper case character
(?=.*[[:^alnum:]]) # Must contain a symbol
/x
validates :password, presence: true, length: {minimum: 8}, format: {with: PASSWORD_FORMAT}
validates :password_confirmation, presence: true
end
And seeds.rb
user_1 = User.create!(name: 'Han Solo', email: 'han#example.com', password: 'Password123!', password_confirmation: 'Password123!')
user_2 = User.create!(name: 'Luke Skywalker', email: 'luke#example.com', password: 'Password123!', password_confirmation: 'Password123!')
I tested that the user is being created properly by opening up the rails console, running User.delete_all , and seeing them wiped off the SQL record.
