You may want to create a factory method to create users with valid
parameters, overriding any parameters by passing in options.
ALPHA = ('a'..'z').to_a + ('A'..'Z').to_a
def random_text
txt = ""
10.times do
txt << ALPHA[rand(52)]
end
txt # maybe a returning block? can't remember if that works here
end
def create_user(options={})
User.create!({ :name => random_text,
:password => random_text}.merge(options))
end
