The problem is solved. I forgot to add following in model: has_attached_file :resume_attachment
In addition, I looked at this<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1397461/how-to-set-file-programmatically-using-paperclip>reference and saved the file in paperclip through File class my_model_instance = MyModel.new file = File.open(file_path) my_model_instance.attachment = file file.close my_model_instance.save!
