Development seed files
Development seed files are listed under gitlab/db/fixtures/development/ and gitlab/ee/db/fixtures/development/
folders. These files are used to populate the database with records to help verifying if feature functionalities, like charts, are working as expected on local host.
The task rake db:seed_fu can be used to run all development seeds with the exception of the ones under a flag which is usually passed as an environment variable.
The following table summarizes the seeds and tasks that can be used to generate data for features.

Seed project and group resources for GitLab Duo
The gitlab:duo:setup setup script executes the development seed file for GitLab Duo project and group resources. In self-managed mode, the task is idempotent and skips reseeding if the gitlab-duo group already exists. To force reseeding from the setup task, set GITLAB_DUO_RESEED=1.
To run the seed directly (outside the setup task) and recreate all resources:
SEED_GITLAB_DUO=1 FILTER=gitlab_duo bundle exec rake db:seed_fuGitLab Duo group and project resources are also used by the Central Evaluation Framework for automated GitLab Duo evaluation.
Some evaluation datasets refer to group or project resources (for instance, Summarize issue #123 requires a corresponding issue record in PostgreSQL).
Currently, this development seed file and evaluation datasets are managed separately. To ensure that the integration keeps working, this seeder has to create the same group/project resources every time. For example, ID and IID of the inserted PostgreSQL records must be the same every time we run this seeding process.
These fixtures are depended by the following projects:
