skip_confirmation_notification! not working

[arparthasarathi]

The confirmation mail is sent automatically when a user is created. But I need to send the mail through code manually after completing a few more steps.

I can't able to prevent the confirmation mail from sending.

User model

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  include DeviseTokenAuth::Concerns::User
  devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
         :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable,
         :confirmable
  before_create :skip_confirmation_notification!

Note: If I try to use skip_confirmation! it works perfectly without any flaw. But I don't need that functionality because I want to confirm the users only through the confirmation link sent to their mail.

Try removing :confirmable from the list of devise methods at the top of your User model, then removing the before_create :skip_confirmation_notification!.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  include DeviseTokenAuth::Concerns::User
  devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
         :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable

This should have the same effect as what you're trying to do. Then you can manually send the email later on if you want.

The basic confirmable functionalities as such like sending mail, updating confirmable columns in the db are working perfectly. I do not want to interrupt the existing functionalities. But only need to delay sending the notification so that this awesome gem is fully utilised.
