DB Seeds Fail On New Deployment Of 0.26.1
Introduction
This article discusses an issue encountered during the deployment of Dawarich 0.26.1, where the DB seeds fail to complete due to an ActiveModel::UnknownAttributeError. The error occurs when trying to create a user, indicating that the attribute 'active' is unknown for the User model.
Environment and Versions
The issue was encountered on a test environment running Debian 12 with 4x vCPUs on a Ryzen 3900X processor and 4GB of RAM. The version of Dawarich being deployed is 0.26.1.
Describe the Bug
The bug is caused by an ActiveModel::UnknownAttributeError when trying to create a user. The error message indicates that the attribute 'active' is unknown for the User model. This suggests that the attribute 'active' has been removed or renamed in the User model, but the seeds are still trying to use it.
To Reproduce
To reproduce the issue, follow these steps:
- Deploy a fresh instance of Dawarich 0.26.1.
- Run the
db:seedtask to execute the seeds.
Expected Behavior
The expected behavior is that the seeds should complete successfully without any errors.
