Managed to fix this thanks to the following question on stack
overflow
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3910162/seeding-file-uploads-with-...
Just had to fix the code in my seeds file a bit. The following
works:
activity = Activity.create! :name => 'Football', :icon =>
File.open(File.join(Rails.root, '/public/images/activity_icons/
soccer.png'))
