rails post test model error

So this is the error I'm getting

.F

Failure: PostTest#test_post_should_be_valid [/home/ubuntu/workspace/test/models/post_test.rb:9]: ["User must exist"]

I'm not sure what it means by "user must exist" since I'm pretty sure a user with an user_id one does exist. heres my code

post_test.rb

require 'test_helper'

class PostTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase
  def setup
    @post=Post.new(user_id: "1",name:"ruby meetup")
  end

  test "post should be valid" do
    assert @post.valid?, @post.errors.full_messages
  end

end

post.rb

class Post < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :user
 geocoded_by :address
after_validation :geocode, if: ->(obj){ obj.address.present? and obj.address_changed? }
reverse_geocoded_by :latitude, :longitude
after_validation :reverse_geocode


  has_many :rsvps
  has_many :users, through: :rsvps

  validates :name, presence: true






end

I'm not sure if this will be helpful but I'm also going to include my user test and user model.

user_test.rb

require 'test_helper'

class UserTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase
  def setup
    @user=User.new(email:"[email protected]", password: "h3h3123")
  end


  test "user should be valid" do
    assert @user.valid?, @user.errors.full_messages
  end
end

user.rb

class User < ApplicationRecord
  # Include default devise modules. Others available are:
  # :confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable
  devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
         :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable
         has_many :posts

          has_many :rsvps
          has_many :posts, through: :rsvps

          validates :email, presence: true





end

Any help will greatly be appreciated as I just recently started testing in rails.

User.new creates a new user in memory, but not in the database. It won't have a valid id to populate user_id.

Try User.create!.

Next, database records are not shared between test runs. Rails attempts "test isolation" by zilching records after each test case. So your PostTest needs its own copy of User.create!.

After you get this working, look up the general topic of "rails test fixtures"...
