How to db:seed a model and all its nested models?

Question

I have these classes:

class User
  has_one :user_profile
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :user_profile
  attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirm         


        

Answer 1

Your user model needs to be setup to accept nested attributes via accepts_nested_attributes

See the Rails documentation for more info and examples: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/NestedAttributes/ClassMethods.html

Edit: Also you might want to consider using has_one :contact, :through => :user_profile which would allow you to access the contact like this: @contact = User.first.contact.

Edit 2: After playing around in rails c the best solution I can find is this:

@c = Contact.new(#all of the information)
@up = UserProfile.new(#all of the information, :contact => @c)
User.create(#all of the info, :user_profile => @up)

Edit 3: See the question for a better solution.
