Rails - Aug 2006 - file_column just will not work...

Hello,

I have been trying for some time to get a file to upload using the 
file_column plugin.

My code is here: http://pastie.caboo.se/7304

But my code is not the issue. I cannot even pass the unit test that 
come with the file_column plugin.

If I run ruby file_column_test.rb i get:

1) Error:
test_store_dir_callback(FileColumnTest):
TypeError: can''t convert Fixnum into String
    file_column_test.rb:204:in `join''
    file_column_test.rb:204:in `test_store_dir_callback''

If I run the rmagick tester file, I get 6 failures. Is it possible that 
rmagick would keep file_column from functioning at all?

When I try to upload a file, it just passes null to the DB and doesn''t 
even download the file to the /tmp folder.

Any suggestions would be great. I will be working on trying to see if 
rmagick is working or not, but I doubt that would keep the file from 
uploading at all.

Thanx for you time.

I think it ought to read:
assert_equal_paths File.join(RAILS_ROOT, "public",
"my_store_dir", e.id.to_s),
e.image_dir
In lieu of
assert_equal_paths File.join(RAILS_ROOT, "public",
"my_store_dir", e.id),
e.image_dir

Thanx for that. I now pass every test but one, actually uploading a 
file. It never actually takes the file from my hard drive.

1) Failure:
test_with_image_tag(UrlForFileColumnTest) [file_column_helper_test.rb:80]:
<"/foo/bar/entry/image/tmp/1154962075.100369.19508/skanthak.png?1154962075">
expected to be =~
</^\/foo\/bar\/entry\/image\/.+\/skanthak.png$/>.

When I try to write my own rails app to upload a file, it doesn''t even 
return a tmp directory...

I am going to have to roll my own now, but I really like the way 
file_column handles uploads.

If anyone has any suggestions, thanx.

I have a feeling that it is as simple as your multipart isn''t working.
Try this:

<%= start_form_tag({:action => ''create''}, :multipart
=> true)%>

It seems dumb, but from the looks of your Firefox output, the
multipart is being passed as a parameter. Look at the actual HTML that
is being produced to verify that the form tag is being built properly.

It''s one of those things isn''t it. I noticed that too and
repaired it. Thanx.

It wasn''t the only problem I had left. I had a bad install of image 
magick and had to reinstall it, but I got er workin.

There needs to be a gem install all_the_crap_i_need_for_me ;)
