Anyone successfully using attachment\_fu with rails 1.2.5 and/or  
rails 2.0 pre?

I would like to use database storage.

The attachment\_fu tests fail for me against the 2.0 preview release,  
as do those for acts\_as\_attachment and acts\_as\_paranoid.

I am using attachment\_fu with Rails 1.2.5 with no problem, using both  
file and s3 storage. As Sven noted, the tests do fail, but, at least  
for my simple usage, it seems to be fine in operation.

I’d chalk it up to bad tests. I’m using it in about every one of my  
projects without problems (rails 2.0). acts\_as\_attachment is the old  
version, I don’t recall what version of rails it was written for, but  
I’d definitely suggest attachment\_fu.

Thanks, Rick, that’s good to know. The tests work better in 1.2.5 but  
by default they seem to want to test every option, and they require  
that you have a lot of stuff installed (rmagick, etc.). I’m not sure  
what you’re supposed to do as a plugin developer to write tests that  
are sufficient without being burdensome to run. And thanks for these  
plugins, in any case.

For what it’s worth the problems I’ve had with your plugin tests on  
the 2.0 preview release wither take the form of the tests trying to  
load, say, 1.2.5 gem rails, when 1.2.5.xxxx has already been loaded  
(if both 1.2.5 and 1.2.5.xxxx are installed) or they are complaints  
about the missing breakpoint library.
