SQL (13.3ms)  INSERT INTO "cards" ("card_number_length", "category_id", "code_type", "conditions", "created_at", "logo_back", "logo_front", "logo_thumbnail", "name", "updated_at") VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)  [["card_number_length", 10], ["category_id", 1], ["code_type", nil], ["conditions", "test2"], ["created_at", Fri, 04 Apr 2014 01:44:11 UTC +00:00], ["logo_back", "test2"], ["logo_front", nil], ["logo_thumbnail", "test2"], ["name", "test2"], ["updated_at", Fri, 04 Apr 2014 01:44:11 UTC +00:00]]

Everything looks fine but when the SQL Insert action executes, it inserts the record with a null value ["logo_front", nil]

Is it a problem with my directory path?

config/environments/development.rb

Paperclip.options[:command_path] = "/usr/local/bin/"

[UPDATE] I just realized that the files were successfully saved on the following directory:

public/system/cards/logo_fronts/000/000/005/medium/test/png

The problem is still that the file_name was not saved in the DDBB

Answer 1

You seem to have the field logo_front in your cards table. This is not correct.

In your Card model you correctly defined logo_front as a has_attached_file attribute.

However, you should not add logo_front directly to the cards table. Instead Paperclip needs to have 4 specific fields in the cards table:

logo_front_file_name
logo_front_file_size
logo_front_content_type
logo_front_updated_at

Paperclip provides a migration generator to do exactly this:

rails generate paperclip card logo_front

Note: At the time of writing there is a bug in the current version of Paperclip with Rails 4.0.4 in that the generator does not work (https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip/issues/1495). If you hit a protected method 'migration_file_name' error, you can always create the migration manually:

class AddLogoFrontColumnsToCards < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    add_attachment :cards, :logo_front
  end

  def self.down
    remove_attachment :cards, :logo_front
  end
end
