Ruby on Rails / Ruby: Populating Database With Usernames In A File - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am trying to create users by populating the database with names in a file called names.rb which lives in the same place as seeds.rb. I am a ruby on rails / ruby newbie so please forgive me if this seems like a simple task. I keep getting the error: Cannot Load File names.rb. I am trying to do this by reading each line in the names.rb file and passing the content to the reiteration block (see below). How do I make sure that each line, for example John Kanye, Matthew Richards, etc. creates a new user with that name? Any help would be appreciated.
seeds.rb
require "names.rb"
File.open("names.rb").each { |line| puts line }
Name = line
User.create!(name: "Michael Princeton",
email: "michaelprinceton#gmail.com",
password: "foobar",
password_confirmation: "foobar",
admin: true)
5.times do |n|
name = Name
email = "example-#{n+1}#example.org"
password = "password"
User.create!(name: name,
email: email,
password: password,
password_confirmation: password)
end
names.rb
John Kanye
Matthew Richards
Mary Mary
Mike Jacobs
etc

Answer 1

Rename the file to names.txt, since it is not Ruby code. Then do something like this:
User.create!(
name: "Michael Princeton",
email: "michaelprinceton#gmail.com",
password: "foobar",
password_confirmation: "foobar",
admin: true
)
File.foreach('db/names.txt').with_index do |name, line_number|
User.create!(
name: name,
email: "example-#{line_number+1}#example.org",
password: 'foobar',
password_confirmation: 'foobar'
)
end

Well there's a number of problems. It's clear you don't have a firm grasp ruby yet. I highly suggest you find a tutorial or book that starts from the very beginning. That said ..
The names.rb doesn't contain ruby code, it's a text file. The file extension .txtis used for plain text, so rename the file to names.txt.
It doesn't make sense to require a text file. When you require a ruby file, it interprets and runs the code in that file. names.txt does not contain ruby code. The fix is to delete that line.
Next, it reads the lines one at a time, and prints to standard output. Then the code attempts to set the constant Name to the block variable line which is now out of scope. It proceeds to create an admin user and five other users in a loop. None of this code accomplishes your goal, so you prolly copy/pasted it from somewhere without understanding it. We've come full-circle to my suggestion to invest time in learning ruby.
What you are looking for is something like:
File.open('names.txt').each_line do |line|
User.create(name: line.strip)
end
Learning by doing is wonderful, but you should start with a solid basis.
