Introduction

I was addicted to an unexpected error with devise, which is taken care of by user management, and melted a considerable amount of time, so I will leave it as a memorandum.

Environment / Gem (ver)

Ruby (2.5.1)
Rails (5.2.4.3)

Conclusion

** Be careful when you validate your User model yourself. ** **

I will do some preliminary research and implement it in the future. ..

Premise

After bundle install devise, I validated the User model as follows: I wanted to limit the password to 7 characters or more.

You have successfully registered a new user.

User and Shop are implemented with the image that the Stylist table is in the intermediate table due to the many-to-many relationship.

(models/user.rb)
class User < ApplicationRecord
  # Include default devise modules. Others available are:
  # :confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable, :trackable and :omniauthable
  devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
         :recoverable, :rememberable, :validatable

  has_many   :stylists
  has_many   :shops, through: :stylists

  (abridgement)

  validates :password, presence: true, length: { minimum: 7 }, format: { with: /(?=.*\d+.*)(?=.*[a-zA-Z]+.*)./ }
end

phenomenon

An error occurs when trying to create an intermediate table (Stylist model) at the same time as creating a new shop (Shop model) after registering a user (User model).

The parameters have values, and I can't figure out what is ** "illegal value" **. Also, in the situation of ** "I can't register (new / create) but can edit (edit / update)" **, the mystery deepened and I spent a lot of time. ..

hypothesis

Isn't it solved by allowing the foreign key nil?

(models/stylist.rb)
class Stylist < ApplicationRecord
#Before correction
  belongs_to :shop
  belongs_to :user
#Revised
  belongs_to :shop, optional: true
  belongs_to :user, optional: true
end

···It was bad.

solution

There is no doubt that the cause is validation, so if you check the behavior while canceling the validates described in the User model one by one,

(models/user.rb)
class User < ApplicationRecord

  (abridgement)

  validates :password, presence: true, length: { minimum: 7 }, format: { with: /(?=.*\d+.*)(?=.*[a-zA-Z]+.*)./ }
end

↑ validates: If you delete the password, everything was solved! !!

And I rewrote the customization contents in the following places.

(config/initializers/devise.rb)
class User < ApplicationRecord

  (abridgement)

#Before correction
  config.password_length = 6..128
#Revised
  config.password_length = 7..128

Why throw an error when saving an intermediate table in the first place? It's still a mystery, but devise has a default validation, and I think it did a bad reaction with the validation I made. .. (Will study)

In addition, I referred to the following article and customized it, and it works fine!
