Custom rake task not finding a model

[Sebastjan Hribar]

Hi,

I've added a custom rake task at the end of the migrate section in Rakefile.

desc "Creates an admin if one doesn't exist. Use: bundle exec rake admin:create"

task :create_admin do

puts "Creating admin user..."

@admin = User.first(role: "admin")

if !@admin

name = ENV["ADMIN_NAME"]

surname = ENV["ADMIN_SURNAME"]

username = ENV["ADMIN_USERNAME"]

email = ENV["ADMIN_EMAIL"]

password = ENV["ADMIN_PASSWORD"]

user_password = Argon2::Password.create(password)

@admin = User.new(name: name, surname: surname, username: username, email: email, role: "admin", hashed_pass: user_password, active_status: true)

puts "Admin #{@admin.name} #{@admin.surname} was created."

else

puts "Admin already exists. Contact the app owner."

end

end

The problem is that I get the Uninitialized constant User error. If migrations run ok, shouldn't this task also?

It doesn't look like you are loading the User model, unless you are doing that in the Rakefile itself.  Maybe you need to add:

  require  './models'

to the top of the task, or something similar to ensure the class is loaded?

Thanks,
