Hi all,
I have paperclip running in my rails environment. I setup a new model
just for paperclip called Assets so that I could upload multiple files
per item (even though I'm only using 1 attachment per item at the
moment). Everything works except for the following:
Updating an item record with no attachment in the form but having
PREVIOUSLY attached an asset while creating or updating. The only way
that this works is if I create an item with no attachment and update the
same item record with no attachment OR if I created an item record with
no attachment and then update the same item record with an attachment.
Basically - Once an asset has been attached to an item record, updating
with no attachment yields the following error:
"ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid in ItemsController#update
Validation failed: Attachment file name can't be blank, Attachment file
size can't be blank"
There are validation errors from the Assets Model for the presence of
:attachment_file_name and :attachment_file_size.
I have the below code in my item model:
[code]
after_save create_or_update_assets!
def create_or_update_assets!
# return if there are no asset_attributes
return true if asset_attributes.nil? || asset_attributes.empty?
# pull the attributes from the instance variable
asset_attributes.each do |attributes_hash|
attributes_hash.symbolize_keys!
# if atts_hash has an id (asset already exists). If there's no id
then this is a new asset.
asset = attributes_hash[:id].blank? ? assets.build : assets.detect
{ |product| product.id == attributes_hash[:id].to_i }
asset.attachment = attributes_hash[:attachment] # adds the
attributes to the asset
asset.save! # saves the asset
end
end
[/code]
my view model looks like this:
[code]
<%- for asset in @item.assets do -%>
<% f.fields_for("asset_attributes[]", asset) do |asset_fields| %>
<p>
<%= asset_fields.label :attachment, "File" %><br />
<%= asset_fields.file_field :attachment, :index => nil %><br />
<%= asset_fields.hidden_field :id, :index => nil unless(
asset.new_record? ) %>
</p>
<%- end -%>
<%- end -%>
[/code]
I'm positive this has to be a lack of some extra checking in my
create_or_update_assets! method. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Please
let me know if you need any extra info to help solve this.
Many thanks,
Tony
