Add roles permission to seed

[Aden Aziz H]

nice plugins, i'm using this for my project.

i created a admin seed which is look like this:

# Creating Super Admin role
puts "Generating admin role"
role = Role.create(name: "Super Admin")

# Creating user & profile
puts "Generating admin user"
user = User.create(
  email: "[e-mail]",
  username: "admin",
  role_id: role.id,
  password: "123123",
  active: true
)

But the problem is when i try to reset all the database, and seed it. Of course i need to manually do rake voltex to generate the roles permissions. So how can i add all permissions to admin using seeds without doing some roles edit in voltex/roles/1/edit/?

i've done this in seeds.rb but it still giving me access denied

puts "Generating permissions"
`rake voltex`

puts "Generating super admin permissions"
Permission.all.each do |permission|
  sql = "INSERT INTO permissions_roles (permission_id, role_id) VALUES (#{permission.id},#{role.id})"
  ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute(sql)
end

Thank you.

You can do the following:

First create voltex permissions:

rake voltex

And after that, create default roles in your application with a rake task and assign permissions:

namespace :roles do
  desc 'Creates roles'
  task create: :environment do
    ROLES = [
      { name: 'Super Admin', deletable: false, key: :superadmin },
      { name: 'Administrador', deletable: false, key: :administrator }
    ]

    ROLES.each do |attrs|
      role = Role.where(name: attrs[:name]).first_or_initialize
      role.permissions = Permission.all
      role.update(attrs)
    end
  end
end

Then, you can create your super admin user with your seed:

# Creating Super Admin role
puts "Generating admin role"
role = Role.create(name: "Super Admin")

# Creating user & profile
puts "Generating admin user"
user = User.create(
  email: "[e-mail]",
  username: "admin",
  role_id: role.id,
  password: "123123",
  active: true
)

I hope this can help you!

I have a rake task that seed my entire environment like this:

namespace :app do
  desc 'Initialize app'
  task init: :environment do
    Rake::Task['db:drop'].execute
    Rake::Task['db:create'].execute
    Rake::Task['db:migrate'].execute

    Rake::Task['voltex'].execute
    Rake::Task['roles:create'].execute
    Rake::Task['users:create'].execute
  end
end

hmm, ok i understand now, i have to use rake task to generate the roles & permissions instead of putting it all on seeds.rb

thanks for explaining it to me, this helps a lot! <3
