Hello everybody,

I develope my own application with RoR.

I use the code after to upload the files to a directory in the public  
folder of my app, and store the URI of the file in the database as a  
string,.

But in my db I find this:

— !ruby/object:File {}

Thinks for any help?

Indications:

> Controller

def create  
@document = Document.new(@params[‘document’])  
@domaines = Domaine.find\_all  
if @document.save  
flash[:notice] = ‘Le document à été créer avec succès.’  
post = DataFile.save(@params[“document”])  
redirect\_to :controller =\> ‘document’, :action =\> ‘list’  
else  
render :action =\> ‘new’  
end  
end

> Model

def self.save(upload)  
name = upload[‘file\_url’].original\_filename  
directory = “public/Documents”

# create the file path

path = File.join(directory, name)

# write the file

File.open(path, “wb”) { |f| f.write(upload[‘file\_url’].read) }  
end  
NB : “file\_url” is a field of my table “documents” where i wan’t store  
the url of uploaded file.
