what is the proper syntax for seeding a child table?

Question

I'm trying to seed a parent table and a child table. Seeding the parent works fine but I don't know the syntax for seeding the child. Please help.

  Contact.delete_all
    Customer.delete_all
    b=[]
   c=[]
    b[0]=[1231215,'Jeremy', 'G', '9177477337',
   'jt@gmail.com', 'Central Ave', 'Rockaway', 'NY', ' 12291', '76 Son Court',
   'ft lauderdale','Florida', '32423', '1', '0', '1', '1', '1', '1', '0', '0', '1',          '0', '9.95', 
  'Honda', '2012', 'Civic', '2.4 Turbo', 'Special', '1J474GFGDHDH8883334D0','fart monkey trap']

   b[1]=[46545465,'Se', 'Wof', '521428788',
   'steven.j.wolfman@gmail.com', '13 NE 17 Street', 'broward', 'FL', ' 32222', '13 NE 17 Street',
   'boca','Florida', '32222', '0', '0', '1',

   c[2]=[6614328902,'jt@gmail.com']


   i=0
   while i<2 do
    @customer=Customer.create(
        :uid=>b[i][0],
        :fname=>b[i][1],
        :lname=>b[i][2],
        :devphone=> b[i][3],
        :email=>b[i][4],
        :address=>b[i][5],
        :city=>b[i][6],
        :state=>b[i][7],
        :zip=>b[i][8],
        :baddress=>b[i][9],
        :bcity=>b[i][10],
        :bstate=>b[i][11],
        :bzip=>b[i][12],
        :roadass=>b[i][13],
        :crisisass=>b[i][14],
        :autocrash=>b[i][15],
        :emergencyass=>b[i][16],
        :remotediag=>b[i][17],
        :carfind=>b[i][18],
        :familytrack=>b[i][19],
        :lowbatt=>b[i][20],
        :towalerts=>b[i][21],
        :monthlycost=>b[i][22],
        :Make=>b[i][23],
        :Year=>b[i][24],
        :Model=>b[i][25],
        :Engine=>b[i][26],
        :VehicleSystem=>b[i][27],
        :vinnum=>b[i][28],
        :signupdate=>b[i][29],
        :password=>b[i][30],
        )
@customer.id=(1000000+i)
print "\n#{@customer.id}\n"

Up till this point the code works fine. When I add in the next 5 lines the code doesn't work.

      Contact.create(
      :customer_id=>@customer
      :contactmethod=>"sms",
      :contacttype=>c[i][0],
      :dateadded=>"5-1-2013",
      )
      i+=1
      end

This is the error I get when running db:seed: rake aborted! undefined method `Contact' for #

This is the Customer Base

      class Customer < ActiveRecord::Base
      attr_accessible :Engine, :Make, :Model, :VehicleSystem, :Year, :address, :autocrash, :baddress, :bcity, :bstate, :bzip, :carfind, :city, :crisisass, :devphone, :email, :emergencyass, :familytrack, :fname, :lname, :lowbatt, :monthlycost, :password, :remotediag, :roadass, :signupdate, :state,:stolenveh, :towalerts, :uid, :vinnum, :zip
      validates :email, :address,:fname, :lname, :password, :state, :uid, :zip, :presence => true
      has_many :Contacts
    end

This is the Contact Base

      class Contact < ActiveRecord::Base
        attr_accessible :contactmethod, :contacttype, :customer_id, :dateadded
        validates :contactmethod, :contacttype, :customer_id, :presence => true
        belongs_to :Customer
      end

Answer The answer to this question is that you can't require the presense of customer_id. Therefore, you just have to modify the validation by deleting :customer_id:

  class Contact < ActiveRecord::Base
    attr_accessible :contactmethod, :contacttype, :customer_id, :dateadded
    validates :contactmethod, :contacttype, :presence => true
    belongs_to :Customer
  end
