Multiple file uploads

Rails
1

I have a form with multiple file upload fields (1-10), of which 2-10
are optional. So i need to cycle thru all file fields and pick only
those that have a file attached. Selecting only one file in the form,
the paramters look simple: “image”=>{“file_1”=>#<File:/tmp/CGI344.4>,
“file_2”=>"", “file_3”=>""}, so I tried this:

params[:image].each_value do |incomming_file|
unless incoming_file.empty?
#do file processing
end
end

However, this is still causing the empty fields (file_2, file_3 etc)
to be processed, which raises all sorts of errors as the File.methods
are not available of course. I tried .nil? and various other tests
but i simply can’t get it to skip those empty file fields. any ideas?
Thank you.

Did you examine the class of the empty parameters? Is it File or
StringIO? If yes, you could simply test incoming_file.eof? .
