Unable to run rake db:seed
Reported by Matt Polito | August 18th, 2008 @ 01:22 PM
No matter what I do, I keep getting an undefined method 'seed' when I run the rake task. The only think I noticed is that there was a recent change to the rake task and seed-fu.rb, could it possibly have broken it?
the self.seed and self.seed_many methods are outside of the SeedFu module but are not encased under ActiveRecord::Base as they previously were. I tried adding that but it still would not work.

I just encountered this bug myself. Will report back if I can find a workaround.

I just opened up ActiveRecord::Base and placed the seed methods inside there. Also had to directly call SeedFu::Seeder.plant. It works but I no longer get the fancy output letting me know which records were created. I didn't test seed_many either.
I am guessing this has something to do with making this compatible w/gem dependencies?

Thanks guys, I just noticed that github was updated a few minutes ago so I updated the code and tried again. This time it works with no problems!

Yes, it's fixed. Sorry, I was merging together a bunch of branches and didn't do a sanity check to see if I had broken the basic functionality!

Thanks, changes look good. This also seems to make another issue I had with installing as a gem go away as I was able to do that just now.
However, now rake doesn't seem to be finding the db:seed command while using the gem. Is there something special I have to do to get that picked up?

Lar: Unfortunately, Rails 2.1 does not properly support the loading of rake tasks from GemPlugins (to my knowledge). I would suggest keeping it as a standard plugin until a newer version of Rails is available that fixes the problem.

Good to know because I removed the plugin and opted for the gem... and then it didn't work again. I'm back to the plugin and all is fine.
