    copied!<p>Ive got a model caleld SpacialBody, and I need to seed some records so first off I added this to my seeds.rb</p> <pre><code>[ ["Sol",0,0,0,"standard"] ].each do |body| nb=SpacialBody.find_or_create_by_name(body[0]) nb.name = body[0] nb.x = body[1] nb.y = body[2] nb.type = SpacialBody::Types[body[3]] nb.class = body[4] nb.save end </code></pre> <p>and this produced an error. I then went into console to test the code and found that this happened:</p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p>SpacialBody.new => # SpacialBody.find_by_name("Sol") => nil SpacialBody.find_or_create_by_name("Sol") NoMethodError: undefined method <code>generated_methods' for nil:NilClass from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.8/lib/active_support/whiny_nil.rb:52:in</code>method_missing' from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/attribute_methods.rb:356:in <code>respond_to?' from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/base.rb:2906:in</code>assign_attributes' from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/base.rb:2902:in <code>each' from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/base.rb:2902:in</code>assign_attributes' from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/base.rb:2775:in <code>attributes=' from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/base.rb:1965:in</code>send' from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/base.rb:1965:in <code>find_or_create_by_name' from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/base.rb:2475:in</code>initialize' from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/base.rb:1963:in <code>new' from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/base.rb:1963:in</code>find_or_create_by_name' from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/base.rb:1975:in <code>send' from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/base.rb:1975:in</code>method_missing' from (irb):3</p> </blockquote> </blockquote> <p>Ive used find_or_create_by_field in other projects without incedent, and i cant see anything different in my setup here.</p> <p>Its only this model that has the problem, others in the same project work fine.</p>
