Rails - Populate test database with development data

Question

Is there any trivial way to copy the data from developmenet database into the test one? I know theres a way to copy schema and recreate database, but is there any rake task to p

Answer 1

If you just want to clone the development DB in its entirety, what's wrong with just copying the development.sqlite3 and renaming it test.sqlite3? You can automate the process by setting up a batch file (or its equivalent on your OS) that you can run from the command line.

This will work locally, but I just realized you might be thinking a non-local environment, in which case it probably won't.
