NoMethodError: undefined method `sanitize' with Rails 5.1.0.rc2 about populator

[willkoehler]

This has been fixed in a few forks of Populator. But if you want to keep using the original Populator, you can monkey-patch in a solution. Create a file populator_fixes.rb with contents:

module Populator
  # Builds multiple Populator::Record instances and saves them to the database
  class Factory
    def rows_sql_arr
      @records.map do |record|
        quoted_attributes = record.attribute_values.map { |v| @model_class.connection.quote(v) }
        "(#{quoted_attributes.join(', ')})"
      end
    end
  end
end

and then require it before using Populator

require 'populator_fixes.rb'

# ... do populate stuff here

i used rake db:populate and got the above error, after unpacking gem i saw sanitize method still being called.

It passed with the solution of @norikt, thx!

   def rows_sql_arr
      @records.map do |record|
        quoted_attributes = record.attribute_values.map { |v| @model_class.connection.quote(v) }
        "(#{quoted_attributes.join(', ')})"
      end
    end
