I'm trying to populate data of a db very similar to this thread.
My sample rake looks like this
namespace :db do
desc "Fill database with sample data"
users_to_create = 1
dogs_to_create = users_to_create * 1
breed_array_size = 177 #0 indexed
array_zips = ["11211", "11215", "01776"]
task populate: :environment do
admin = User.create!(name: "First Last",
email: "something@gmail.com",
password: "somepass",
password_confirmation: "somepass",
zip_code: "11211",
admin: true)
users_to_create.times do |n|
name = Faker::Name.name
email = "example-#{n+1}@example.com"
password = "password123"
zip_code2 = array_zips.sample
User.create!(name: name,
email: email,
password: password,
zip_code: zip_code2,
password_confirmation: password)
end
dogs_to_create.times do |d|

user_id = 1
name = Faker::Name.name
nick = Faker::Name.name[0..2]
primarybreed = primary_breed[d].join('')
secondarybreed = "Purebred"
age = rand(1..12)
Dog.create!(user_id: user_id,
name: name,
nick: nick,
age: age,
primarybreed: primarybreed,
secondarybreed: secondarybreed
)
end
Dog.all.each { |dog| dog.image=File.open(Dir.glob(File.join(Rails.root, "public/images/fake_dogs/#{dog.primarybreed}", '*')).sample); dog.save! }
end
end
The error I get is
TypeError: no implicit conversion of nil into String
it points to
Dog.all.each { |dog| dog.image=File.open(Dir.glob(File.join(Rails.root, "public/images/fake_dogs/#{dog.primarybreed}", '*')).sample); dog.save! }
If I tried to test with this line:
Dog.all.each { |dog| dog.image=File.open(Dir.glob(File.join(Rails.root, "public/images/test/", '*')).sample); dog.save! }
and it works (with test folder having a few images), but with the first method, it's breaking. If I comment out this line for test purposes, and create the dog without the image, and then go into rails console.
Dog.first.primarybreed
returns the breed, so it's not that the breed that is nil, and there ARE images in the (first 20 breed-folders, and I'm just trying to create one dog in this example which would be the first breed, which does have images )
What is nil here? I've been working on this for a while... maybe losing my mind.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long array, but I didn't want to nix it in case there's a problem there.
