Rake task to dump the current ActiveRecord database content into a working seeds.rb file
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'dirty_seed', github: 'kogre/dirty_seed', group: :development
And then execute:
$ bundle
The gem provides 2 rake tasks.
To create a seeds.rb file from your current database, use the dump task. The task writes out the file content to standard out, so you probably want to run the following command from within your Rails project folder. Caution: This overwrites your existing seeds.rb file.
$ rake dirty_seed:dump > db/seeds.rb
This is a convenience tasks that executes db:drop, db:create, db:migrate and db:seed consecutively in one command. It brings your database in the exact state described in the seedfile.
$ rake dirty_seed:reset
The tasks have had limited testing with SQLite and PostgreSQL databases. It has been successfully used with Rails 3 and 4 on some project. Some datatypes might not work. Other databases might or might not work. If you run into problems, please post an issue or fix them yourself and create a pull request.
Only when I judge the gem to be stable, I will publish it to RubyGems for easier installation.
