Adding a custom seed file

Question

I want to populate a new feature with dummy data, but don\'t want to use the db/seeds.rb file as it already has seeds other data irrelevant for this feature.

To run

Answer 1

Too complicated! I just wanted a simple task to execute every file under db/seeds directory without passing in any file names.

# lib/tasks/seed.rake
desc "Run all files in db/seeds directory"

namespace :db do
  task seed: :environment do
    Dir[File.join(Rails.root, 'db', 'seeds', '*.rb')].each do |filename|
      puts "seeding - #{filename}. for reals, yo!"
      load(filename)
    end
  end
end
