require ''faker'' require ''populator'' require ''date'' Dbase.destroy_all User.destroy_all Table.destroy_all 100.times do u = User.new u.username = Faker::Internet.user_name u.email = Faker::Internet.email u.password = "test" u.password_confirmation = "test" u.save end I am using the Faker gem to load sample data in my app. I have three models, user, dbase and table. The table gets created under every dbase so I want it''s column ''dbase'' tp have the same value as the dbase.name that was created above. Please see the code : 10.times do u = User.find(id = rand(User.count)) db = Dbase.new db.name = Faker::Company.name db.vendor = Faker::Company.name db.location = [ Faker::Address.city , Faker::Address.us_state_abbr ].join(''.'') db.port = 50000 db.defuser = u.username t1 = Faker::Company.name Table.populate(rand(10)) do |tab| tab.schema_name = t1 tab.tab_name = Faker::Company.name tab.dbase = db.name #here it says undefined method `db'' for main:Object. tab.created_by = Faker::Name.name tab.created_on = Date.today.to_s tab.logged = rand(2) end db.save end I can accompolish the same using rails console so I am assuming the console holds the value in cache while this doesn''t commit or something. Can anyone help on how to accomplish this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
