Question

So I have a file that I am trying to write to after getting a username, password and role from the user to add to this file. Everything appears to work well, but when I open the file for writing and enter the puts command, it creates a new line after the password section. Here is a snippet of the code.

File.open("user.file", "a") do |file|
  file.puts "#{userName}=#{passwordEncoded},#{role},enabled"

And here is what I get in the file itself afterwards

danny=ieSV55Qc+eQOaYDRSha/AjzNTJE=
,ROLE,enabled

It might have something to do with the = at the end of the encoded password but I am not sure. The passwords always end in an equal size so maybe that causes issues? But I am not sure here.

Answer 1

Add chomp call to passwordEncoded variable to remove newline:

File.open("user.file", "a") do |file|
  file.puts "#{userName}=#{passwordEncoded.chomp},#{role},enabled"
