Rspec ignores min length of a password specified in Devise

Question

In the config of Devise I have the password min length to be 8.

# config/initializers/devise.rb

config.password_length = 8..128

However, my rspec test passes when a password 4 characters:

u = User.new({
  password: "test",
  # ....
})

expect(u).to be_valid

I always use shoulda for testing validations, `it { should ensure_length_of(:password).is_at_least(size_of_password) }` — Kedarnag Mukanahallipatna, Aug 27 '18 at 02:06

If you don't want to use shoulda, can you try doing this

describe User do
  it "should validate the length of password" do
    FactoryGirl.build(:user, password: "aaaaa").should_not be_valid
  end
end

or if you want to use shoulda

it { should ensure_length_of(:password).is_at_least(8) }

and if you want to check for max length,

it { should ensure_length_of(:password).is_at_most(18) }
