The plugin is db-populate
in vendor/plugins/db-populate/lib/create_or_update.rb:
class ActiveRecord::Base
# given a hash of attributes including the ID, look up the record by
ID.
# If it does not exist, it is created with the rest of the options.
# If it exists, it is updated with the given options.
#
# Raises an exception if the record is invalid to ensure seed data
is loaded correctly.
#
# Returns the record.
def self.create_or_update(options = {})
id = options.delete(:id)
record = find_by_id(id) || new
record.id = id
record.attributes = options
record.save!
record
end
end
I want to replace it with:
# db-populate monkey patch
# Patched to work even when the primary key != id
require 'active_record'
class ActiveRecord::Base
# given a hash of attributes including the ID, look up the record by
ID.
# If it does not exist, it is created with the rest of the options.
# If it exists, it is updated with the given options.
#
# Raises an exception if the record is invalid to ensure seed data
is loaded correctly.
#
# Returns the record.
def self.create_or_update(options = {})
# Need to get the primary key, can't assume it's always id
id = options.delete(primary_key.to_sym)
record = send("find_by_#{primary_key}", id) || new
record.id = id
record.attributes = options
record.save!
record
end
end
