Rails active storage UnknownAttributeError

Rails
1

I installed Active storage to download / display images. In the form, when I select the image and send my form, I have the following answer:

ActiveModel :: UnknownAttributeError (unknown attribute ‘image’ for Book):

Ruby on Rails tries to add the image in the book table (so obviously the image field in the book table does not exist) and not in the active storage tables.

Another point also, when installing activestorage, my configuration file is called storage_services.yml and not storage.yml as I saw on the net. Do you think the problem can come from there.

Do I need to add an association or other for my image to be stored in active storage?
RoR tries to add the image in the contact table and not in the active storage tables. I feel that active storage is not active.

Thanks a lot for your help

However, I added the gem ‘activestorage’ 0.1 to my Gemfile file correctly, and all the installation is going well.

I redo a test with a model Contact but always the same error

To Install ActiveStorage: In the Gemfile , I added the gem ‘activestorage’, ‘~> 0.1’

gem 'rails', '~> 5.1.6'
gem 'mysql2', '>= 0.3.18', '< 0.6.0'
gem 'puma', '~> 3.7'
gem 'sass-rails', '~> 5.0'
gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.3.0'
gem 'activestorage', '~> 0.1'

File environnements/development.rb :

Rails.application.configure do
config.cache_classes = false
config.active_storage.service = :local
config.eager_load = false
...

File config/storage_services.yml :

test:
  service: Disk
    root: <%= Rails.root.join("tmp/storage") %>
local:
  service: Disk
    root: <%= Rails.root.join("storage") %>

File application.js :

//= require rails-ujs
//= require jquery3
//= require popper
//= require bootstrap-sprockets
//= require turbolinks
//= require_tree .

When I add //= require activestorage in the file application.js, I have this error:

In my model contact.rb , I had this:

class Contact < ApplicationRecord
   has_one_attached :image
end

In my view _form.html.erb, I added this field

<%= form.label :image %>
<%= form.file_field :image %>

When I don’t upload an image, all is OK:

    def set_contact

    # Never trust parameters from the scary internet, only allow the white list through.
    def contact_params

end

Thanks a lot

I don’t think you’re supposed to install that version of the gem.

Rails gems like ActiveRecord & ActiveSupport always have the same version as the Rails version.

So for Rails 5.2, you would have:

  • activerecord 5.2
  • activesupport 5.2
  • actionpack 5.2

etc.

I think you need Rails 5.2 minimum for ActiveStorage, according to this:

Hope that helps :slight_smile:

When I validate the form with an picture, I have this error:

ActiveModel::MissingAttributeError (can’t write unknown attribute record_id):

Thanks or your help
