db:seed not loading models

Question

I\'m trying to seed my database with the standard db/seeds.rb method. This works fine on my development machine, but on my server, I get:

$ sudo         


        

Answer 1

In a comment to the blog posted linked to above and here again: http://www.builtfromsource.com/2011/02/09/getting-rake-dbseed-and-config-threadsafe-to-play-nice/

Bruce Adams mentions that one can call:

config.threadsafe! unless $rails_rake_task

to only turn on threadsafe when not running a rake task.

But as the issue is really that threadsafe turns off dependency_loading, you can simply add this line after config.threadsafe! to leave it enabled, but still load your environment as you expect.

config.dependency_loading = true if $rails_rake_task
