I have a very simple file upload MVC. But every time I attempt to upload
a gif or image file it gives an error see [1].
I have tried using http://railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=4642&p=1 and
the example from a book that is very similar.
The problem is that it cannot recognize the actual binary data blob
object. When I try to access things like original_file_name or
content_type it says ‘method not found’.([1] for details)
This is what MVC component looks like :
View:
New storage
<% form_for(:storage, @storage, :url=>{:action=>'create'}, :html=>{:multipart=>true}) do |form| %>
Name
<% form.text_field :name %>
<%= form.file_field :data %>
<%= submit_tag "Create" %>
–
Controller (storages_controller.rb):
class StoragesController < ApplicationController
layout ‘application’
before_filter :check_administrator_role
ssl_required :index, :update,
:destroy,:create,:download,:show,:new,:edit
def create
@storage = Storage.new(params[:storage])
respond_to do |format|
if @storage.save
flash[:notice] = ‘Storage was successfully created.’
format.html { redirect_to(@storage) }
format.xml {render :xml => @storage, :status => :created, :location
=>@storage}
else
format.html { render :action => “new” }
format.xml { render :xml => @storage.errors, :status =>
:unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
end
Model (storage.rb):
class Storage < ActiveRecord::Base
def data=(data_field)
return if data_field.blank?
self.name = data_field.original_filename
self.content_type = data_field.content_type.chomp
self.data = data_field.read
end
end
–
My migration file:
class CreateStorages < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
create_table :storages do |t|
t.string :content_type
t.binary :data
t.string :name
t.timestamps
end
end
def self.down
drop_table :storages
end
end
I have tried taking the model file code out and in the controller I add
this snippet (and remove the data=(data_field) method in the
storages.rb):
@storage = Storage.new(params[:storage])
@storage.content_type = @storage.data.content_type.chomp
@storage.data = @storage.data.read
But with this approach only text files are uploaded the others (images,
pdfs, word files) do not load in properly and I get errors like “MySql
has gone away” or “Data too long for column ‘data’”.
Error

undefined method `original_filename’ for #String:0x6b52330
