I built the fake.rake task this is the code
task :fake => :environment do
Customer.create (name: Faker::Company.name,
city: Faker::Address.city,
zipcode: Faker::Address.zip.to_i,
state: Faker::Address.state_abbr,
email: Faker::Internet.email,
employees: (rand * 100).to_i)
end
end
But when i run it i get the following error rake fake DL is deprecated, please use Fiddle rake aborted!

Courses Plus Student 13,220 PointsSOLVED I had to remove the spacing, (name: Faker::Company.name) to (name:Faker::Company.name) it appears that the 1.9+ parser converts the space to a symbol whereas the 1.8 parser did not.
