Rails - User.count didn't change by 1 - ruby-on-rails

Question

My personal website is being built on rails but I'm stuck with the User.count for the login area not updating. Been sitting with this for a day trying to get it to work but no luck so far. I've included all the code if someone could spot my error as I can't see it.
class UsersControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase
setup do
#user = users(:one)
#input_attributes = {
name: 'luchia',
password: 'secret',
password_confirmation: 'secret'
}
end
test "should create user" do
assert_difference('User.count') do
post :create, user: #input_attributes
end
assert_redirected_to users_path
end
Then there is my User Controller
# GET /users/1
# GET /users/1.json
def show
end
# GET /users/new
def new
#user = User.new
end
# GET /users/1/edit
def edit
end
# POST /users
# POST /users.json
def create
#user = User.new(user_params)
respond_to do |format|
if #user.save
format.html { redirect_to users_url, notice: "User #{#user.name} was successfully created." }
format.json { render action: 'show', status: :created, location: #user }
else
format.html { render action: 'new' }
format.json { render json: #user.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
And my Terminal error:
$ rake test
Run options: --seed 11633
# Running tests:
....[deprecated] I18n.enforce_available_locales will default to true in the future. If you really want to skip validation of your locale you can set I18n.enforce_available_locales = false to avoid this message.

Would appreciate anyone's help.
////////////////
Mmkay, this is what I ended up coming up with but it's not very concise. Rake test is completing with this so I guess it will have to do.
test "should create user" do
assert_difference('User.count') do
post :create, {:user => {'name' => 'luchia', 'password' => 'secret', 'password_confirmation' => 'secret'}}
.to change(User, :count).by(1)
end
assert_redirected_to users_path
end
//////////////
Edit again, the above bit of code fails on the second rake test.

Answer 1

Example with capybara and cucumber
describe "new" do
before do
visit new_user_path
end
it { should have_title(I18n.t("user.new")) }
describe "with invalid information" do
before { find("form#new_user").submit_form! }
it { should have_title(I18n.t("user.new")) }
it { should have_selector("div#alerts") }
end
describe "with valid information" do
before do
fill_in "user_name", :with => "user_name"
fill_in "user_email", :with => "user#example.com"
fill_in "user_password", :with => "123456"
fill_in "user_password_confirmation", :with => "123456"
find("form#new_user").submit_form!
end
it { should have_content(I18n.t("user.success"))}
end
end

Answer 2

You have to do a
puts YAML::dump(#user.save!)
in your method create of UsersControlller
def create
#user = User.new(user_params)
puts YAML::dump(#user.save!)
...
end
To see why it doesn't save.
Then check your user_params permit if it necessary

Answer 3

set
I18n.enforce_available_locales = false
to your config/application.rb
inside as exampled:
module MyApp
class Application < Rails::Application
...
I18n.enforce_available_locales = false
end
end
and restart server
