Archive data in db:seed needed

[anantshri]

We need to have some past events in dummy db so that past event related bug could be visualized.

Right now both dev and admin interface wont let me move dates back.

After fighting with seed.rb for a while, I realized that there is a time validator in Event model which prevents events being created in past.

swachalit/app/models/event.rb

Lines 263 to 268 in 3f752de

	def time_validator
	errors.add(:start_time, 'cannot be nil') if self.start_time.nil?
	errors.add(:end_time, 'cannot be nil') if self.end_time.nil?
	errors.add(:start_time, 'cannot be in the past') if self.start_time && (self.start_time < Time.now)
	errors.add(:end_time, 'cannot be before start time') if (self.start_time && self.end_time) and (self.end_time < self.start_time)
	end

Only way I think past this is to add a flag in the model like past_event: false, but don't know how to limit that in dev environment only.

@abhisek suggestions?

You can use model#update_column or disable validation before saving.
