Manually created staged user?

Try entering the container ./launcher enter app

then go into rails console:

rails c

create a new user:

new_user = User.create

then … and this will fail initially, try to save it (to instantiate it)

new_user.save!

follow the instructions on filling in the invalid attributes until it saves.

e.g.

new_user.username = 'frank'

will get past one validation error.

Rinse and repeat, eventually the user will save.

simply type new_user to see how far you’ve got but know you do not need to complete every field, only those with a validation issue.

Do not forget to save it, as new_user will be a temporary object until save works.
