Uninitialized constant Object::Foodevent (NameError)

Rails
1

I have a model named Foodevent which I am trying to use to insert
objects into my database. This is my code

require ‘rubygems’

e_from = “[email protected]”
e_subject = “first post”
e_date = “2011-12-03”
e_time = “18:00”
e_body = “testing testing”

fevent = Foodevent.new(
:from => e_from,
:subject => e_subject,
:date => e_date,
:time => e_time,
:body => e_body
)
fevent.save

However I am getting this error repeatedly - why is that?

db/scripts/vbtest.rb:17:in `’: uninitialized constant
Object::Foodevent (NameError)

At this point, have you already declared or required the Foodevent
class? From the sounds of that error, I think maybe it isn’t there yet.

I think I did? I created a new project then ran

rails generate scaffold Foodevent from:string subject:string date:string
time:string body:text

and

rake db:migrate

before running the script.

Not at all. Rails does so much magic most of the time, you don’t realize
you don’t have it until it doesn’t happen.

Ok - I’m really stupid. Was trying to run it using ruby instead of
rails runner.
