Question

I cannot really find a clean way to bypass attr_accessible when creating seed data. I would like to be able to use mass assignment without any problems, since i know that this seed file is totally safe.

Is there a clean way to force Rails 3 to accept those ?

Answer 1

#in model
attr_accessible :name, :role,.... :as => :seed

#in seed.rb
model.assign_attributes({name: "Putin", role: "president"....},:as => :seed)
model.save
