I want a page to display an image for a record if the image file
actually exists. If the file does not exist (newly created record) I
want the placeholder image to display. I've tried using File.exist? as
my conditional but it fails to find the files that do exist.  Any ideas
how to easily handle this at the view code level?


View Code:

<% for e in @media_elements %>
     <% if File.exist?(e.filename) %>
         <%= link_to(image_tag(e.filename.to_s) -%>
     <% else %>
         <%= link_to(image_tag("placeholder_image.jpg") -%>
     <% end %>
<% end %>
