Devise skip_confirmation! fails to avoid to send the confirmation instructions

devise, ruby, ruby-on-rails, ruby-on-rails-3.1

Solution

You need to skip confirmation before you create the User objects and its persisted to the database. So the user creation part of your method would look like

user = User.new(:username => data.name, :email => data.email, :password =>    Devise.friendly_token[0,20])
user.skip_confirmation!
user.save

Problem

My app is set up so that if a user signs in with Oauth or Openid, they don't have to confirm their email address. However, Devise is still sending email confirmations. When I call User.skip_confirmation! I get an undefined method error. My model: ``` class User < ActiveRecord::Base devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable, :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable, :confirmable, :lockable, :token_authenticatable, :omniauthable attr_accessible :username, :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me validates_presence_of :username validates_uniqueness_of :username, :case_sensitive => false def self.find_for_facebook_oauth(access_token, signed_in_resource=nil) data = access_token.extra.raw_info if user = User.where(:email => data.email).first user else #User.skip_confirmation! User.create!(:username => data.name, :email => data.email, :password => Devise.friendly_token[0,20]) end end def skip_confirmation! self.confirmed_at = Time.now end end ``` My Controller: ``` class Users::OmniauthCallbacksController < Devise::OmniauthCallbacksController def facebook @user = User.find_for_facebook_oauth(request.env["omniauth.auth"], current_user) @user.skip_confirmation! if @user.persisted? sign_in @user @fname = @user.username redirect_to root_path, :flash => { :success => "Welcome #{@fname}!" } else session["devise.facebook_data"] = request.env["omniauth.auth"] redirect_to new_user_registration_url end end end ``` thanks for any help.
