Question

In my lib/tasks folder I added a new .rake file.

In the rake task, I am doing this:

p = Post.new( ....)
p.save!

When I run my task, I get the error:

rake aborted!
uninitialized constant Post

What do I have to do to import my Post model?

Answer 1

I’m thinking you’re probably missing the environment declaration. This is necessary in order for Rake to know about your Rails environment. Your rake task call should look something like this:

task :my_rake_task => [:environment] do

    # Your code here

end

Let me know if that solves the problem!
