Question

In my user.rb model, I have:

validates :email, presence: true, 
                  format: { with: VALID_EMAIL_REGEX },
                  uniqueness: { case_sensitive: false }

And I have the following test:

test "email address uniqueness regardless of case" do
    dup_user = User.new(name: "First Last", email: @user.email.upcase)
    dup_user.save
    assert !@user.valid?
end

And that test won’t pass. I also tried, assert !@user.save.valid? thinking that it would fail on save, but that didn’t work either.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You should be checking if the dup_user is valid.

test "email address uniqueness regardless of case" do
    dup_user = User.new(name: "First Last", email: @user.email.upcase)
    assert ! dup_user.valid?
end
