Hi, I’ve been trying to implement monrel upload progress, but I cannot get it to work properly. I hope someone here can help me. I followed the instructions on this page: [http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/upload\_progress.html](http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/upload_progress.html) Uploading files works fine, but unfortunately no progress is shown. When I start the upload the progress bar says 0%, when the upload is finished the progress bar jumps from 0% to 100% without showing progress in the mean time. I have no idea what I could be doing wrong. Has anyone here encountered the same problems? I’m running OSX 10.4.8. Could that be the problem? I tried it with just Mongrel and with Mongrel + Apache, both behave the same way. Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance. Mischa. ---

Mischa, This might be a REALLY stupid answer, but it’s the most obvious one… Are you testing locally only? If so, make sure that you throttle your bandwidth in some way (perhaps using ServiceMonitor) so that it simulates an upload with a bandwidth constraint. Otherwise the transfer will occur too fast for the upload\_progress to actually do anything. I’m using mongrel\_upload\_progress without difficulty behind Pen + Apache, so Apache isn’t an issue. And it works fine in dev mode with Mongrel only. If this doesn’t help (and I’m pretty sure it won’t ;), post some code so we can be of more help… Matt On 11/26/06, Mischa B.

OK, I got it working… the solution was: sudo gem cleanup I guess my controller was looking at some old code I used to try to get it working earlier. Mischa. ---

We had the same problem, and we did gem clean up which didn’t help very much. the actual problem was that we didn’t use the same upload\_id in the form and the AJAX updater. stupid 🙂 ---

Interesting… Perhaps it was starting an old version of Mongrel or something. Glad you got it working! Matt On 11/27/06, Mischa B.

Thanks Matt, The error I’m getting is the following: NoMethodError in FilesController#progress undefined method `check’ for Mongrel::Uploads:Class this is what my controller looks like: class FilesController \< ApplicationController session :off, :only =\> :progress def progress render :update do |page| @status = Mongrel::Uploads.check(params[:upload\_id]) page.upload\_progress.update(@status[:size], @status[:received]) if @status end end def upload render :text =\> %(UPLOADED: #{params.inspect}.) end end Do I need to require Mongrel or something?? Any ideas? As far a I can see I follow the instructions to the point, but I’m sure if missed something… Thanks again. Mischa.
