require 'seed-fu' namespace :db do desc <<-EOS Loads seed data for the current environment. It will look for ruby seed files in /db/fixtures/ and /db/fixtures//. By default it will load any ruby files found. You can filter the files loaded by passing in the FILTER environment variable with a comma-delimited list of patterns to include. Any files not matching the pattern will not be loaded. You can also change the directory where seed files are looked for with the FIXTURE_PATH environment variable. Examples: # default, to load all seed files for the current environment rake db:seed # to load seed files matching orders or customers rake db:seed FILTER=orders,customers # to load files from RAILS_ROOT/features/fixtures rake db:seed FIXTURE_PATH=features/fixtures EOS task :seed_fu => :environment do if ENV["SEED"] puts "DEPRECATED: The SEED option to db:seed_fu is deprecated. Please use FILTER instead." ENV["FILTER"] = ENV["SEED"] end if ENV["FILTER"] filter = /#{ENV["FILTER"].gsub(/,/, "|")}/ end if ENV["FIXTURE_PATH"] fixture_paths = [ENV["FIXTURE_PATH"], ENV["FIXTURE_PATH"] + '/' + Rails.env] end SeedFu.seed(fixture_paths, filter) end end
