Question

In my seeds.rb file I have:

user = User.new(
   :user_type => UserTypes.MEMBER

)

I get an error:

rake aborted!
Expected /..../lib/user_types.rb to define UserTypes


module SomeName

   class UserTypes
       MEMBER = 1,
       BLAHBALH = 2
   end

end

Do I need an include or require at the top of the file?

Answer 1

Not an include, you need the full classname (incl. modules). You might also need to move the file to lib/some_name/user_types.rb (this you can avoid by using an explicit require).

user = User.new(
   :user_type => SomeName::UserTypes::MEMBER
)
