Great! Let’s push that:
Creating admin users
git add .
git commit -m "Added the ability to create users through the admin backend"
git push
Although this functionality allows you to create new users through the admin backend,
it doesn’t let you create admin users. That’s up next.
7.6 Creating admin users
To create admin users, you need a check box on the form that, when clicked, sets the
user’s admin field to true. But, because the admin attribute isn’t on the list of accessible
attributes (attr_accessible inside app/models/user.rb), it can’t be mass-assigned
as the other fields can. Therefore, you must manually set this parameter in the controller
before the user is saved.
To get started, let’s add another scenario to the features/creating_users.feature
using the code from the following listing.
Listing 7.24 features/creating_users.feature
Scenario: Creating an admin user
When I fill in "Email" with "newadmin@ticketee.com"
And I fill in "Password" with "password"
And I check "Is an admin?"
And I press "Create User"
Then I should see "User has been created"
And I should see "newadmin@ticketee.com (Admin)"
Now when you run bin/cucumber features/creating_users.feature, it fails on the
"Is an admin?" step:
cannot check field, no checkbox with id, name,
or label 'Is an admin?' found (Capybara::ElementNotFound)
You want to add this check box to the form for creating users, which you can do by
adding the following code to the form_for block inside app/views/admin/users/
_form.html.erb:
With this check box in place, when you run bin/cucumber features/creating
_users.feature, you’re told "newadmin@ticketee.com (Admin)" can’t be found anywhere
on the page:
