Ability to set habtm associations
Reported by Glen Barnes | May 19th, 2008 @ 06:54 PM
Maybe I'm doing this wrong but I have:
admin_role = Role.find(:first, :conditions => "title = 'admin'")
user_role = Role.find(:first, :conditions => "title = 'user'")
presenter_role = Role.find(:first, :conditions => "title = 'presenter'")
User.seed(:email) do |s|
s.email = "admin@somewhere.com"
s.first_name = "Admin"
s.last_name = "User"
s.password = "password"
s.password_confirmation = "password"
s.roles << admin_role
s.roles << user_role
end
I get the error "undefined method `roles' for #"
I have tried running the following in the console and it works:
u = User.find(:first, :conditions => "email = 'admin@somewhere.com'")
admin_role = Role.find(:first, :conditions => "title = 'admin'")
u.roles << admin_role
u.save
Can this be supported?

The problem is that you are trying to tack on a habtm to a not-yet-created record. This is not and will not be possible as it has not yet been assigned an id. However, something like this should work:
admin_role = Role.find(:first, :conditions => "title = 'admin'") user_role = Role.find(:first, :conditions => "title = 'user'") presenter_role = Role.find(:first, :conditions => "title = 'presenter'") admin = User.seed(:email) do |s| s.email = "o:admin@somewhere.com">admin@somewhere.com" s.first_name = "Admin" s.last_name = "User" s.password = "password" s.password_confirmation = "password" end RoleAssignmentModel.seed(:user_id, :role_id) do |s| s.user_id = admin.id s.role_id = admin_role.id end RoleAssignmentModel.seed(:user_id, :role_id) do |s| s.user_id = admin.id s.role_id = user_role.id end -

Thanks for the pointer. This actually worked:
user = User.seed(:email) do |s| s.email = "admin@somewhere.com" s.first_name = "Admin" s.last_name = "User" s.password = "password" s.password_confirmation = "password" end user.roles << admin_role user.roles << user_role
