I am trying to seed my database, but I am running into this error, and as a beginner do not know how to fix it. I'm trying to take a sample of bookmarks and assign them to some of my users. Any ideas why this is throwing an error? Here is the error:
vagrant@rails-dev-box:~/code/bookmarks$ rake db:seed

Edit: Here is my seeds.rb file:
require 'faker'
# Create a User
# user = User.new(
# name: 'First Last',
# email: 'firstlast@gmail.com',
# password: 'password',
# )
# user.skip_confirmation!
# user.save
#Create Users
5.times do
user = User.new(
name: Faker::Name.name,
email: Faker::Internet.email,
password: Faker::Lorem.characters(10)
)
user.skip_confirmation!
user.save!
end
users = User.all
#Create Bookmarks
10.times do
Bookmark.create!(
url: Faker::Internet.url
)
end
bookmarks = Bookmark.all
#Create Topics
10.times do
Topic.create!(
name: Faker::Lorem.sentence
)
end
topics = Topic.all
users.each do |user|
3.times do
user.bookmarks << Bookmark.sample
end
end
topics.each do |topic|
3.times do
user.topics << Topic.sample
end
end
puts "Seed finished"
puts "#{User.count} users created"
puts "#{Bookmark.count} bookmarks created"
puts "#{Topic.count} topics created"
Thanks in advance for your help!
whereever you are calling .sample
, the object before it is apparently not the correct type of object. It should either be an array or the 'collection' which results when you query your database. Like this...
posts = Post.all
posts.sample
would work correctly
any object which is not an array (or like an array) will not have the 'sample' method available for you to use
You cannot call sample
on a class as that is not a valid method. The sample
method is used for arrays or ActiveRecord::Relation arrays.
For example, each of these would return a random
[0,1,2,3].sample
(0..10).to_a.sample
Post.all.sample
However, something like these examples would give an error.
User.sample
NoMethodError: undefined method 'sample' for #<Class:0x00000007faa378>
(9..199).sample
NoMethodError: undefined method 'sample' for 9..199:Range
