Rails - Seeding HABTM associations

has-and-belongs-to-many, ruby, ruby-on-rails, ruby-on-rails-3, seed

Solution

In the where condition, you can use array:

Equipment.create(name: "Room to run")
Equipment.create(name: "Pull-up bar")
Workout.create(
  description: "Do 100 pull-ups then run 5km",
  :equipment => Equipment.where(:name => ['Pull-up bar', 'Room to run']))

Problem

``` Equipment.create(name: "Room to run") Equipment.create(name: "Pull-up bar") Workout.create( description: "Do 100 pull-ups then run 5km", :equipment => Equipment.where(:name => 'Pull-up bar')) ``` Equipment and Workouts have a HABTM relationship. The above seeds code works but how can I also assign a second equipment association at the same time as the first?
