Rails User Model not being assigned an ID when using User.create()

I tried looking for an answer but they were all using User.new etc and not create.

When using User.create() in console with valid attributes I'm getting a User created with nil for ID and nil for the timestamps.

Here is my user Model.

 class User < ApplicationRecord
  attr_writer :name, :email
  before_save {self.email = email.downcase}

  validates :username, presence:true,
                       length: {maximum: 30},
                       uniqueness:true


  VALID_EMAIL_REGEX = /\A[\w+\-.]+@[a-z\d\-]+(\.[a-z\d\-]+)*\.[a-z]+\z/i
  validates :email, presence:true,
                    length: {maximum:200},
                    format: {with: VALID_EMAIL_REGEX},
                    uniqueness: {case_sensitive: false}

  has_secure_password

  validates :password, presence: true,
                       length: {minimum:6}

end

In the rails console I'm using 

User.create(username:"oiuedhioj", email:"[email protected]",password:"test",password_confirmation:"test")

And getting back 

<User id: nil, username: "Damhan", email: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil, password_digest: "$2a$10$oGtRgcHigaHh/UCVX4QdM.AOgyGur8Oud5MyKZheUcQ...">

In addition to the tips you already got, use create! and save! etc. instead of their complements to get an exception on error, and thus fail-fast and hence easier to debug code. Only use the variants without ! if you have a good reason. As you have to manually check for errors anyway, having proper exceptions is usually much more cleaner.

Try doing the creation in the rails console.

Returning a record without an Id or timestamps is a sign of an invalid record.

user = User.create(...)
user.valid?
=> false
user.errors.any?
=> true

You've set only name and email as writable. Include id and other properties on that list. Or if your rails version is 4+, use strong parameters in your controller.

#user_controller.rb

...
private

def user_params
  params.require(:user).permit(:id, :name, :email ... )
end
...
