Rails script error

Question

i wrote a script to fill a database using values from an excel page. In the script I'm getting the error

uninitialized constant Profile (NameError)

Profile is the name of a model i have. Rails looks it is not recognizing my model in the script. How can fix this.

You need to post some code. Your script and your Profile model would be a good start. — Alex Peattie, Nov 20 '11 at 00:15

It looks like Rails doesn't get properly initialized.

Can you post the script, and explain how you run / start it?

Which version of Rails do you use?

If you have a rails application and you want to run a task as a script, there are two ways to do it:

1) via script runner

2) via rake

If you use rake, you have to tell it to initialize your Rails application properly. The rake tasks need to be under ./lib/tasks
