Can't figure out how to use db:seed for rails in netbeans

Question

can't seem to get my seeds.rb file to run through the command "rake db:seed". I'm using netbeans and I'm a beginner to rails, so I could be doing something really simple and stupid =/. I know you're meant to put your seeds.rb file in the db directory but netbeans doesn't seem to have one or might have renamed it... any help out there?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The rake task db:seed will load the Rails environment and then load and execute the file db/seeds.rb.

If you do not have a file db/seeds.rb, then make one (and if necessary make the db directory too).
