I have created a seed file, ran rake db:migrate and rake db:seed everything seemed to have run fine. However, I would now like to view the seeds in rails console, the name of the table is usersinfo. How do I view to verify that the seeds populated correctly in console?
I have tried usersinfo.all in console but got the following error.
undefined method `all'
As far as I know, you cannot directly view tables from rails console, however you can check if the table has data via the associated ActiveRecord model of that table
Ex:
if your table name is usersinfo
You should probably have a model called
class Userinfo < ActiveRecord::Base
set_table_name :usersinfo
end
and then in console you could do
Userinfo.all
NOTE: as per the rails convention, your table name should be plural, If you are not using the rails convention, you could always set the table name via set_table_name: method
and also, .all is a ActiveRecord class methods and works only with an Activerecord Model
You have to call .all method for your model.
Userinfo.all
I would recommend you to read the Active Record Query Interface
Had a similar problem. This did the trick for me:
rails runner 'p Userinfo.pluck :column_name`
