fixing an invalid seed

readme.md

Problem: I want to migrate minter state from a minter statefile to the database, but keep getting errors like:

NoMethodError (private method `select' called for nil:NilClass):

and

NoMethodError (method `update_attributes' called for nil:NilClass):

Solution: Generate a new seed and then migrate the minter state to the database

1. manually delete the invalid seed

   psql -U dbuser -W -h dbhost -c 'delete from minter_states;' dbname

2. generate a new seed

   RAILS_ENV=staging bundle exec rails generate active_fedora:noid:seed

3. migrate the minter state from a file to the database

   RAILS_ENV=staging bundle exec rake active_fedora:noid:migrate_file_to_database
