ActiveRecord::RecordNotSaved - Rails 3 seeding data

Question

I am using rails 3.2.13 and ruby 1.9.2p320 (2012-04-20 revision 35421) [x86_64-linux] in CentOS 5.6. When I try to seed the data I got the following error.

** Execute Samp:seed:record_status
Creating RecordStatus: Active
rake aborted!

record_status.rake

16:  record_statuses.each do |rs|
17:       unless RecordStatus.find_by_seed_name(rs[:name])
18:       puts "Creating RecordStatus: #{rs[:name]}"
19:       RecordStatus.create!(:name        => rs[:name],
20:                             :seed_name   => rs[:name],
21:                             :description => rs[:description])
22:        end
23:     end

EDIT-1 *RecordStatus.rb*

class RecordStatus < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_enumerated

 ACTIVE   = 1
 DISABLED = 2
 DELETED  = 3

  validates_uniqueness_of :id , :name
end

Answer 1

Rails 3 doesn't support create/alter/destroy instances for enumerations by nature. If we wants to create any enumerations just add Model.enumeration_model_updates_permitted = true in record_status.rake file. REF : Enumerations_mixin

Answer 2

It appears like you must have duplicate names in your seed data. To find out for sure, change your call to create! to something like:

 rs = RecordStatus.new(...)
 unless rs.save
   raise "Couldn't save #{rs.inspect}: #{rs.errors.full_messages.to_sentence}"
 end
