User has created an account with a blank address field

This is causing validation errors when they try to confirm their account:

An ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid occurred in user#confirm:

Validace je neúspešná: Address Musíte vložit adresu.
activerecord (3.2.22.3) lib/active_record/validations.rb:56:in `save!'

Actually looks like this is an older account, so they've somehow been able to delete the address information.

I was just looking at this.

ID	622
Created at	2016-04-07 09:29:06 +0200

Looks like they're following a PostRedirect (created yesterday).

OK, I'll let you dig into it.

I think this is what's happening:

• User receives new response reminder alert
• User follows URL to view reply & describe
• We try to confirm the user again
• We call confirm!
• confirm! saves the record
• Error is raised as the user doesn't have an address

IMO, the above code flow is a bit broken. We shouldn't be updating the record when a user just wants to follow a "log me in to do X" URL.

As a quick fix, I've just updated all users without an address:

User.where(:address => nil).update_all(:address => '-')
#  SQL (4.1ms)  UPDATE "users" SET "address" = '-' WHERE "users"."address" IS NULL
#=> 6
User.where(:address => nil).count
#   (1.4ms)  SELECT COUNT(*) FROM "users" WHERE "users"."address" IS NULL
#=> 0
User.where(:address => '').update_all(:address => '-')
#  SQL (224.0ms)  UPDATE "users" SET "address" = '-' WHERE "users"."address" = ''
#=> 81
User.where(:address => '').count
#   (1.5ms)  SELECT COUNT(*) FROM "users" WHERE "users"."address" = ''
#=> 0
