"Password can't be blank" error when seeding database

I'm attempting to seed my database using the data that I grabbed with the seed_dump gem, found here. Anyway, the seed file generated looks legit, but it seems to be falling afoul of the user model validation:

ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid: Validation failed: Password can't be blank

To give an idea the seed looks like this: 

User.create!([
  {email: "1234@localhost", encrypted_password: "$2a$10$5eoHh6M2q4GjGkHClO.NqebWWhS94D8rNj5Ot6CB2qrbn7IrTfkSa", reset_password_token: nil, reset_password_sent_at: nil, remember_created_at: nil, sign_in_count: 1, current_sign_in_at: "2014-12-31 22:27:09", last_sign_in_at: "2014-12-31 22:27:09", current_sign_in_ip: "127.0.0.1", last_sign_in_ip: "127.0.0.1", admin: false}
])

Also, I'm using the devise gem for users management.

Is there an elegant way to seed the user data given this filter?

Had the same issue. The User.new solution did not work for me.

The following solution did work, from similar question on "Seeding Users with Devise" here: Seeding users with Devise in Ruby on Rails

In short, replace the encrypted_password with password and a plain text password you are comfortable using.

Example:

User.create!([
  {email: "1234@localhost", password: "some_password", reset_password_token: nil, reset_password_sent_at: nil, remember_created_at: nil, sign_in_count: 1, current_sign_in_at: "2014-12-31 22:27:09", last_sign_in_at: "2014-12-31 22:27:09", current_sign_in_ip: "127.0.0.1", last_sign_in_ip: "127.0.0.1", admin: false}
])

You can then run rake db:seed. Rails will do its magic (by automatically creating the encrypted_password hash) for each user, and you will be able to login normally.

You can do:

u = User.new([
  {email: "1234@localhost", encrypted_password: "$2a$10$5eoHh6M2q4GjGkHClO.NqebWWhS94D8rNj5Ot6CB2qrbn7IrTfkSa", reset_password_token: nil, reset_password_sent_at: nil, remember_created_at: nil, sign_in_count: 1, current_sign_in_at: "2014-12-31 22:27:09", last_sign_in_at: "2014-12-31 22:27:09", current_sign_in_ip: "127.0.0.1", last_sign_in_ip: "127.0.0.1", admin: false}
])
u.save!(validate: false)
