Try new_user.insert(db)

interesting loophole, isn't this a bug?

entity::user::Entity::insert operate on the executor level which doesn't support event hook

Wow, wasted maybe 5 hours of my life on this. Would be nice to have a note about this somewhere in the documentation.

Thanks @billy1624 for the answer.

Hey @mohs8421, welcome! You can use the before_save hook in ActiveModelBehavior. See https://www.sea-ql.org/SeaORM/docs/generate-entity/expanded-entity-structure#active-model-behavior

Doesn't this run on updates as well? If yes, say you updated an entity, it would compute an entirely different hash of the already hashed password, no?
