I then want to use Paperclip to have photos for each Listing. I added the appropriate code to the listings show.html.erb, the listing.rb model, the listings_controller.rb and the _form.html.erb partial.
When I try uploading an image for the Listing I get this error:
Paperclip::Error in ListingsController#update
Listing model missing required attr_accessor for 'avatar_file_name'
Line 44 of listings_controller:
def update
respond_to do |format|
if @listing.update(listing_params)
format.html { redirect_to @listing, notice: 'Listing was successfully updated.' }
format.json { head :no_content }
else
A few things to try: namely adding some code to the listing.rb model to make the acceptable images for the :avatar more robust. Here is what several stackoverflow posts mentioned adding to the listing.rb model:
validates_attachment_content_type :avatar, :content_type => %w(image/jpeg image/jpg image/png)
Unfortunately I still get the same error when I attach an image. When I don't attach an image my default image is loaded fine and the listing is created properly.
My Listing model:
class Listing < ActiveRecord::Base
has_attached_file :avatar, :styles => { :medium => "150x", :thumb => "100x100>" }, :default_url => "default.jpg"
validates_attachment_content_type :avatar, :content_type => %w(image/jpeg image/jpg image/png)
end
My _form.html.erb partial:
<%= form_for @listing, :html => { :multipart => true } do |f| %>
<% if @listing.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(@listing.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this listing from being saved:</h2>
<ul>
<% @listing.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
<li><%= msg %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.label :name %><br>
<%= f.text_field :name, class: "form-control" %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.label :company %><br>
<%= f.text_field :company, class: "form-control" %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.label :email %><br>
<%= f.text_field :email, class: "form-control" %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.label :phone %><br>
<%= f.text_field :phone, class: "form-control" %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.label :avatar %><br>
<%= f.file_field :avatar, class: "form-control" %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.submit class: "btn btn-primary" %>
</div>
<% end %>
My listings_controller.rb controller:
def update
respond_to do |format|
if @listing.update(listing_params)
format.html { redirect_to @listing, notice: 'Listing was successfully updated.' }
format.json { head :no_content }
else
format.html { render action: 'edit' }
format.json { render json: @listing.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
...
def listing_params
params.require(:listing).permit(:name, :company, :email, :phone, :avatar)
end
And my schema.rb file
ActiveRecord::Schema.define(version: 20140329174335) do
create_table "listings", force: true do |t|
t.string "name"
t.string "company"
t.string "email"
t.string "phone"
t.datetime "created_at"
t.datetime "updated_at"
end
end
EDIT: Adding console output after running $rails generate paperclip listing avatar
(I need 10 reputation points to put in post so you have to settle for link http://i.imgur.com/c8KGTa3.png)
I suppose you forgot to create the corresponding fields for avatar
in listings
table.
I would suggest you to generate a migration to add avatar
to listings
table as below:
rails generate paperclip listing avatar
Then run rake db:migrate
As per your comments and EDIT, you have a migration file to add avatar
to listings
table which you created by running rails generate paperclip user avatar
but unfortunately for some reason its not going through i.e., there are no avatar specific fields("avatar_file_name", "avatar_content_type", "avatar_file_size" and "avatar_updated_at")
in listings
table as per your db/schema.rb
. This is a very strange behavior.
I would suggest you to follow the below mentioned steps in order:
Destroy the existing migration, if any:
rails destroy paperclip listing avatar
Generate a new migration:
rails generate paperclip listing avatar
Run
rake db:migrate
I hope you did not down voted me (but someone did), so I would like to bring it to notice that it is an ongoing issue with Paperclip and I did suggest a solution in my comments (Mar 31) as below:
I want you to try as gem 'paperclip', :git => "git://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip.git" in Gemfile and then bundle install. Let me know when you finish
Apparently it wasn't noticed by you or someone who down voted me today.
Also, you said No errors as far as I can tell, image here:
i.imgur.com/c8KGTa3.png BUT if you look at the output there is an error stating clearly:
migration_file_name': protected methodmigration_file_name' called for PaperclipGenerator:0x007fb3c6494c20 (NoMethodError)
