multiple seeds This will allow you to do rake db:seed:x where “x” is a file in the db/seeds directory:

code.rake

namespace :db do

  namespace :seed do

    Dir[File.join(Rails.root, 'db', 'seeds', '*.rb')].each do |seed_file|

      task_name = File.basename(seed_file, '.rb').intern    

      desc "Load the seed data from db/seeds/#{task_name}.rb"

      task task_name => :environment do

        load(seed_file) if File.exist?(seed_file)

      end

    end

  end

end
