I was going to take a different tack. Assuming this isn't a test
fixture
but just a file that is being used from somewhere to set default
values
for new objects, then you could do:
default_values=YAML.load_file('path/to/get_value.yml')
There are probably other ways to set defaults rather than loading up a
file like this though.
You could embed them in a class method in the model and just pull them
out when you
need them. Or maybe apply them in a callback (http://
api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Callbacks.html) like
before_create. Or use :default in your migration when defining the
table - might not be appropriate doing this with id's though.
Callback example:
class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
before_create :apply_defaults
private
def apply_defaults
self.field1='val1' if self.field1.blank?
end
end
