paperclip 2.3.6

pull request: https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip/pull/306

Please accept it.

I followed the instructions placed at the GIT page, but it doesn't work.

Had encountered few has_attached_file errors because my use of the paperclip was not correct. I was using has_attached_file from the controller and not from the model.

So when has_attached_file undefined error is raised. Make sure you use if from models (and not from your controllers)...

I'm getting undefined_method 'has_attached_file'.

Installed gem through bundle.
* Mac OS 10.6.4
* Rails 3.0.0
* Ruby 1.9.2.

Wasn't this solved already?

has_attached_file :photo, :styles => { :medium => "300x300>"}
I got below error, it seems not working .
Photo C:/DOCUME~1/indian/LOCALS~1/Temp/stream,2524,.jpg is not recognized by the 'identify' command.

I am using Rails 3.0, Windows XP OS
rmagick-2.12.0-x86-mswin32
ImageMagick-6.5.6-8-Q8

Could not find generator paperclip.

got this message:

Raise Error undefined method 'has_attached_file'

I got Paperclip to work for me... I wrote up my experiences in case that helps anyone else: http://patshaughnessy.net/2010/5/23/how-to-install-paperclip-in-a-rails-3-app

I was originally getting the dreaded NoMethodError & undefined method 'has_attached_file', but jyurek has committed a fix for this on May 19th on the paperclip rails 3 branch.
See the commit here:
http://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip/commit/aa93daec50c35a7d8aa861e6ba5c980fdb4e618a

Now I'm no longer getting that error, and my models appear to be created just fine.

I might add that I am putting "include Paperclip" within my model.

NoMethodError in AccountsController#new

undefined method `has_attached_file' for #

So... here's what I've learned - if you install (and I'm talking about git://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip.git rails3 branch) ...

-if you install it as a plugin you get the functionality but not the generator
-if you install it as a gem you get the generator but you don't get the methods.

but of course neither works because of
can't convert nil into Integer
vendor/plugins/paperclip/lib/paperclip/processor.rb:46:in `sprintf'
vendor/plugins/paperclip/lib/paperclip/processor.rb:46:in `make_tmpname'

ignore my last. accidentally had the master instead of rails3 plugin.
both produce the undefined method error.

I tracked down a line in paperclip that breaks the entire module, which is the reason for has_attached_file being undefined is because there's a line it referring to Paperclip::CallbackCompatibility::Rails20 (which is undefined) breaking the entire Paperclip module.

I was able to comment out the affected lines and no longer had to manually include the module.

I'm still getting a can't convert nil to String in one of the temp name functions...

`method_missing': undefined method `has_attached_file

class Upload < ActiveRecord::Base
include Paperclip
has_attached_file :data
end

Paperclip produces this error, after checking out the rails3 branch:

NoMethodError: undefined method `has_attached_file' for #

Was able to get paperclip to work with Rails 3 using Imunar's fork:
http://github.com/lmumar/paperclip
In Gemfile:

gem 'paperclip', :git => 'git://github.com/lmumar/paperclip.git', :branch => 'rails3'

Adding 'include Paperclip' to user.rb as some have suggested results in a different error, one with an uninitialized constant.

Failed to run "generate paperclip user avatar" and got "Could not find generator paperclip."

I'm on Snow Leopard, Rails 3.0.0.beta3, and ruby 1.9.2dev (2010-04-03 trunk 27199) [x86_64-darwin10.3.0]

After installing the gem, I tried to generate a model, and got the error below.

$ rails generate model UserPhoto caption:string private:boolean main:boolean user_id:integer
.rvm/gems/ruby-head/gems/bundler-0.9.24/lib/bundler/source.rb:209:in `rescue in rescue in block (2 levels) in load_spec_files': There was a LoadError while evaluating paperclip.gemspec. (Bundler::GemspecError)
Does it try to require a relative path? That doesn't work in Ruby 1.9.

Note: including the Paperclip module in my model manually fixes this.

Hi. Sorry for silly question, but how do I include Paperclip module in my models?

Looks like you just need to add this line to your model file:

include Paperclip

uninitialized constant Paperclip::CallbackCompatability::Rails20

The same problem as danielmachado77

On snow leopard

Could not find generator paperclip.

After installing with bundler using

gem 'paperclip', :git => 'git://github.com/lmumar/paperclip.git', :branch => 'rails3'

Has anyone found away round this problem?

I'm pretty new to all of this but I wonder if the problem I'm experiencing might be down to the switch of
directories generators are searched for in rails 3?

From what I can see they seem to have been moved from GEM_DIR/generators to GEM_DIR/lib/generators

http://caffeinedd.com/guides/331-making-generators-for-rails-3-with-thor

Looking at the paperclip gem directory on my installation I did find a /generators folder but no
/lib/generators folder

I tried moving the contents of /generators to newly created /lib/generators folder and when I tried to run paperclip generator in my app it was found. However, I got the following error

[WARNING] Could not load generator "generators/paperclip/paperclip_generator" because it's a Rails 2.x generator, which is not supported anymore

I installed paperclip using bundler

gem 'paperclip', :git => 'git://github.com/lmumar/paperclip.git', :branch => 'rails3'

so I'm no sure why I would have see that error. Does anyone have any ideas? Am I barking up the wrong tree?

I've added the following line in my Gemfile

gem 'paperclip', :git => 'git://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip.git', :ref => 'rails3'

But when I access a model from my app, I get an error that the 'has_attached_file' is not found. I'm guessing something isn't bootstrapping properly between the plugin and RoR3.beta.3

for me it works - don't you have to specify with :branch instead of :ref?

hi, I have a paperclip fork, you can try if it will work at your end, just change your Gemfile:
gem 'paperclip', :git => 'git://github.com/lmumar/paperclip.git', :branch => 'rails3'

envitoment: Rails 3.0.0.beta3, ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-08 patchlevel 173) [universal-darwin10.0], Snow Leopard.

Problem:

$rails generate paperclip photo data
Could not find generator paperclip.

Gemfile:

gem 'paperclip', :git => 'git://github.com/peterpunk/paperclip.git', :branch => 'rails3'

Using paperclip (2.3.1.1) from git://github.com/peterpunk/paperclip.git (at rails3)

Paperclip bundle are not in cache after bundle install, all of the other rails plugin are in there and working fine.

I have had the same problem (snow leopard). Is there a fix for this problem?

Not any more.
My Gemfile has following line:
gem 'paperclip', :git => 'git://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip.git', :branch => 'rails3'
I always get NoMethodError for `has_attached_file'

have you figured this out?

hope that will fix your problem.

We had to switch over to this git repo:

git://github.com/nhowell/subdomain-fu.git

Woops, wrong rails 3 plugin..

Does not generate images from styles, even when running 1.8.7. This commit fixes it: http://github.com/peterpunk/paperclip/commit/b13f7dffab5e323efb728546f4f8d85f121be569

I was using Ruby 1.9.2dev and it wasn't working in the slightest.

Woops should have placed this in the Ruby1.9 section, now where is that delete functionality...

Works like a charm in dev mode but give's me a real headache in production… When I run gem install && gem pack (in dev) the gem installs (Installing paperclip (2.3.1.1) from git://github.com/JasonKing/paperclip.git (at 9c90828)) but is never copied to vendor/cache…

Any ideas on this one?

Rails 3 uses bundler. Which means you dont run gem install and gem pack to handle dependencies.

Suggest you watch http://railscasts.com/episodes/201-bundler to catch up on the new ways of handling dependencies. Please note that bundler changes awfully fast though, so commands can change. But you'll get a hang of it.

Ok, thank you!

I solved it temporarily though by installing Paperclip as a plugin and doing what this guy did:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2341216/rails3-and-paperclip

Will switch to the gem as soon things stable out in development. :)

No need to do those changes if you use JasonKing's repo. Those are already applied there. I for one prefer having the more dynamic approach with remote gems defined in my gemfile, and not using plugins.
At the same time you get the advantage of a smaller deployment-size.

If you wanna use Jasons repo for paperclip, just define this in your gemfile:
gem "paperclip", :git => "git://github.com/JasonKing/paperclip.git"

Bundler handles the rest.

The callbacks don't work at all which make it highly unusable with a few gems that depend on Paperclip.

The callbacks aint broken in smathy's repo. It's the gems depending on paperclip that are broken. Since Rails3 changes how callbacks are handled and named.

Open issue-reports in the projects that are broken instead of naming Paperclip as the one and only problem.

gem "paperclip", :git => "git://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip.git", :branch => "rails3"

Works fine so far with a Rails 3 app that we're developing.

Callbaks aint working properly in that branch. smathy has a proper branch set up. (Updated view website to follow this).

We're still waiting for the official repo to accept the pull request.

Using the github.com/JasonKing/paperclip rails3 branch it works fine, a small change to the callbacks is all it take to make sure post processing thumbnails etc works again.

gem 'paperclip', :git => 'git://github.com/JasonKing/paperclip.git', :branch => 'rails3'

Seems to work with no issues this far, including creating thumbs.

Works perfectly fine with this fork, thumbnails are generating nicely. Have only tested it on my local filesystem, no uploading to S3/CF or what have you.

I have installed the gem by bundling it:
gem "paperclip", :git => "git://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip.git", :branch => "rails3"

Then I execute:
bundle install && bundle pack.

I haven't tested the plugin at all yet. But tried to use his generator, and it doesn't work well. Like that:
rails generate paperclip Logo
Could not find generator paperclip.

I don't know if it is a gem issue or if it is issue of my environment.

I'm having the same problem. Were you able to get the generate command to work?

though it's not working neither from gem nor from github plugin, after commenting out 283 line in the attachment.rb file (return if fire_events(:before)) it'll work (though I think that models' callbacks will be ignored)

Doesn't resize image

The new callback mechanism in Rails3 means that paperclip is only saving the :original version of attachments, it's not getting to the post_processing

My bad. I only tested :original and not the rest. Github's searchfunction in issues aint working right now, but I've seen a fix for the post_processing problem.

Paperclip works as long as you only use the :original.

I got it working late yesterday on minter's (CloudFiles) fork, I'll fork you and send a pull request in a few hours.

I sent you a pull request to your rails3 branch and commented in [here](http://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip/issues/labels/rails3#issue/144)

This isn't a fix, you are removing a critical feature. Quite a few gems and plugins depend on the before_ callbacks.

Not sure what you're saying. Do you mistakenly think my patch disables callbacks? It doesn't.

Have you tested my patch (here: http://is.gd/az9vp ) and found that it didn't work with some callback? Post details, here or in the paperclip thread.

Check my comment on your patch http://is.gd/az9vp or the direct todo http://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip/issues/issue/144

Mirroring what I said in my patch - the new ActiveSupport::Callbacks in Rails3 had already broken the API that delayed_paperclip was depending on. It wasn't me.

delayed_paperclip (and any other gems or plugins that were using the old API) needs to use the new API - so something like: `set_callback :"#{name}_post_process, :before, :"halt_processing_for_#{name}"`

Could not find generator paperclip.
