    <p>I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong in my model spec (user_spec.rb). I'm attempting to check that the authentication method works with a valid password, but something is going wrong in the <code>User.find_by</code> part of the spec I think since it returns <code>nil</code>. I've checked that it responds to :authenticate, :password, and :password_confirmation, which passes (I'll omit that in the code below for the sake of readability).</p> <p>Here's the failure I'm getting when running the spec:</p> <pre><code>Failures: 1) User return value of authenticate method with valid password should eq #&lt;User id: 136, fullname: "Sherwood Hickle", email: "jewell.brekke@stokes.net", created_at: "2013-11-06 23:04:35", updated_at: "2013-11-06 23:04:35", password_digest: "$2a$04$O5V2X9sZrl/u2T9W25c3Pu/PU6XaIvtZSIB39Efkid6a..."&gt; Failure/Error: it { should eq found_user.authenticate(user.password) } expected: #&lt;User id: 136, fullname: "Sherwood Hickle", email: "jewell.brekke@stokes.net", created_at: "2013-11-06 23:04:35", updated_at: "2013-11-06 23:04:35", password_digest: "$2a$04$O5V2X9sZrl/u2T9W25c3Pu/PU6XaIvtZSIB39Efkid6a..."&gt; got: #&lt;User id: nil, fullname: nil, email: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil, password_digest: nil&gt; (compared using ==) Diff: @@ -1,2 +1,2 @@ -#&lt;User id: 136, fullname: "Sherwood Hickle", email: "jewell.brekke@stokes.net", created_at: "2013-11-06 23:04:35", updated_at: "2013-11-06 23:04:35", password_digest: "$2a$04$O5V2X9sZrl/u2T9W25c3Pu/PU6XaIvtZSIB39Efkid6a..."&gt; +#&lt;User id: nil, fullname: nil, email: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil, password_digest: nil&gt; # ./spec/models/user_spec.rb:41:in `block (4 levels) in &lt;top (required)&gt;' </code></pre> <p>user_spec.rb:</p> <pre><code>require 'spec_helper' describe User do describe "return value of authenticate method" do user = FactoryGirl.create(:user) let(:found_user) { User.find_by(email: user.email) } describe "with valid password" do it { should eq found_user.authenticate(user.password) } end describe "with invalid password" do let(:user_for_invalid_password) { found_user.authenticate("invalid") } it { should_not eq user_for_invalid_password } specify { expect(user_for_invalid_password).to be_false } end end end </code></pre> <p>And I'm also using FactoryGirl to generate the username and email addresses but I don't think it has anything to do with the failure:</p> <pre><code>require 'faker' FactoryGirl.define do factory :user do |u| u.fullname { Faker::Name.name } u.email { Faker::Internet.email } u.password { "foobar" } u.password_confirmation { "foobar" } end end </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
