I recently added the gem Active Admin to my rails applicaction (using rails 5.2.6), I got it to work with the default admin and it's working as intended. But I'm unable to add new admins with AdminUser.create!(email: "[email protected]", password: "password", password_confirmation: "password") as I get the rails aborted error and then Don't know how to build task 'AdminUser.create!(email: "[email protected]", password: "password", password_confirmation: "password").

I already tried using rails db:migrate and running my seeds. Also I am using the devise gem.

Full trace:

    rails aborted!
Don't know how to build task 'AdminUser.create!(email: example@gmail.com, password: password, password_confirmation: password)' (See the list of available tasks with `rails --tasks`)

As I said before, all the other ActiveAdmin functionalities are working as intended, it's just that I can't create new admins.

What am I doing wrong/could have forgotten to do? Thanks in advance.

CodePudding user response：

There are several ways to add that admin into the database:

1. rails console - Just open the console and execute AdminUser.create!(...).
2. seeds.rb - Open the db/seeds.rb file and paste AdminUser.create!(...). Then run rake db:seed. Note that running rake db:seed multiple times will create that admin multiple times - it's best you have some sort of validations or use AdminUser.find_or_create_by(...) instead.
3. rake task - create a rake file in lib/tasks, name is not important but it should end in .rake (ex: update.rake)

task :add_admin do
  AdminUser.find_or_create_by(email: "[email protected]", password: "password", password_confirmation: "password")
end

Run it with rake add_admin.

If you want that admin only for yourself, your local machine, use the console approach, otherwise pick the other two but make sure the rake tasks are idempotent.
