Add a file like lib/tasks/populate.rake containing: <code> namespace :db do task :populate => [:environment] do User.create!(:name => "Foo") ⋮ end end </code> then do <code>rake db:populate</code>. Also, "E-mail required)" in your comment form is missing an opening parenthesis. :) Rake is probably a better fit. Add a file like lib/tasks/populate.rake containing:


namespace :db do
task :populate => [:environment] do
User.create!(:name => “Foo”)
⋮
end
end

then do rake db:populate.

Also, “E-mail required)” in your comment form is missing an opening parenthesis. :)
