Mongoid works fine on development in a Rails 4 app. However, when I seed my staging environment, the seed does not fail (so I assume Mongoid creates the objects) but when I look at the mongo database on staging no objects are created.

I run the following to seed:

RAILS_ENV=staging bundle exec rake db:seed

In seeds.rb, I have this:

[Role, User, FieldType].each do |model|
puts "seeding #

"
model.seed
end

The ActiveRecord objects are seeded (Role and User) but not the Mongoid object (FieldType). FieldType looks like this:

class FieldType
include Mongoid::Document
field :name
def self.seed
find_or_create_by(name: 'Text')
find_or_create_by(name: 'Number')
end
end

The seed never fails and it seems that it creates the FieldType objects. In my mongoid.yml I have the following:

staging:
sessions:
default:
database: core_staging
hosts:

• localhost:27017
  options:

But when I log into my staging server, no core_staging was ever created with the objects.

Why is this happening? Is this a bug or am I missing something from the mongoid.yml? If I am missing something from mongoid.yml that I am not aware of, then I will close this issue.
