db:seed not loading models

Question

I\'m trying to seed my database with the standard db/seeds.rb method. This works fine on my development machine, but on my server, I get:

$ sudo         


        

Answer 1

I just ran across a good approach to this problem in this article. I'll summarize here so people can (hopefully) find it quicker.

The idea is to turn off threadsafe in the production environment, first by editing config/environments/production.rb:

config.threadsafe! unless ENV['THREADSAFE'] == 'off'

You then set THREADSAFE=off when running rake tasks.
