Uninitialized constant error with rake db:seed and mongoid - ruby-on-rails

Question

I'm getting this error when I am trying to rake data into my application.
I have a JSON file that looks like…
[{"code": "OCH", "name": "blah", "location": "Texas, United States"},…
My db:seeds looks like:
Airport.delete_all
airport_codes = JSON.parse(File.read(Rails.root.join('db/airport_codes.json')))
airport_codes.each do |code|
Airport.create!(code)
end
And my stack trace:

Hope you have created your rake task like this
task :<rake task name> => :environment do
Airport.delete_all
airport_codes = JSON.parse(File.read(Rails.root.join('db/airport_codes.json')))
airport_codes.each do |code|
Airport.create!(code)
end
end
if this is also correct, then try to include your airport.rb to your rake file
require 'airport.rb'
, but as far as I know above rake task format should work for you
