Creating new user accounts

This is an experimental feature. A user can create a new account if they makes a successful donation. Enable this in settings. When a user is not logged in, they will be asked to enter details for a new user account. This feature doesn't support mandatory custom user fields yet.

Testing

To run the rails specs, install the plugin and run bundle exec rake plugin:spec[discourse-donations] in the discourse root directory.
To run qunit tests: MODULE='Acceptance: Discourse Donations' bundle exec rake qunit:test[20000].
To run Component tests: MODULE='component:stripe-card' bundle exec rake qunit:test[20000].

Note:

If you're using a zsh shell, then you probably get this error: zsh: no matches found ... and you'll need to escape the square brackets with backslashes.

TODO

Handle custom fields
Acceptance test in RSpec not qunit.
