rake db:seed_fu not populating database - ruby-on-rails

Question

I'm using the seed-fu gem and am able to get 2 files to seed the db successfully. The following file, while it produces output in the terminal, isn't populating the db:
# residents.rb
Resident.seed do |r|
r.account_id = 1
r.employee_id = 1
r.first_name = "solomon"
r.last_name = "gibsom"
r.gender = "Male"
r.dob = Date.parse("1937-02-20")
r.case_number = "H-3827-JKZ-0329"
r.veteran_status_number = "G-15 classified"
r.marital_status = "Married"
r.arrival_date = Date.today
r.religious_preferences = "None"
r.insurance_info = "Medicaid"
r.burial_provisions = "Cremation"
r.admission_weight = "121 lbs"
r.admission_height = "5ft 9in"
r.allergies = "Corn, wheat and peanut allergies"
end
Address.seed do |r|
r.account_id = 1
r.employee_id = 1
r.resident_id = 1
r.street_address = "55298 solomon hills blvd"
r.city = "Flint"
r.state = "MI"
r.zip = "48289"
end
PrimaryPhone.seed do |r|
r.account_id = 1
r.employee_id = 1
r.resident_id = 1
r.area_code = "810"
r.number = "565-0255"
end
Terminal output:
The output looks good so I check for the records in the console:
I'm sort of at a loss on where further to look to check for errors.
Here are two files that work as expected:
#accounts.rb
Account.seed do |a|
a.facility_name = "Chuck Norris AFC"
end
#admins.rb
Employee.seed do |a|
a.account_id = 1
a.is_admin = true
a.first_name = "kenneth"
a.last_name = "the paige"
a.email = "test#example.com"
a.password = "12345678"
a.password_confirmation = "12345678"
a.dob = Date.parse("1965-05-05")
a.gender = "Male"
end
Address.seed do |address|
address.account_id = 1
address.employee_id = 1
address.street_address = "123 Chuckleburger dr."
address.city = "New York"
address.state = "NY"
address.zip = "00001"
end
some background:
I'm using seed-fu ~>2.3,
residents.rb lives inside of db/fixtures/, and the rails version is 4.2
Thank you in advance for having a look!

Answer 1

Pay attention to the SQL queries printed in the console when you run Resident.all: they have condition WHERE resident.account_id is NULL. But in seeds file Resident has account_id = 1.
You might've set default_scope for Resident model. Try running Resident.unscoped.all or remove the default scope.
