Hello All,

I’ve been using squeegy fleximage for my image uploads. However while  
migrating my db, say through seeds, I’m not being able to completely  
achieve this because I’m having a " Validation failed: Image file is  
required ", coming due to the " acts\_as\_fleximage " in my model.  
How can I avoid this when doing my migrations ?

Regards,

Joel

Something similar came up earlier this week. Try this inside your  
migration:

```
class Image < ActiveRecord::base; end

```

Then your migration won’t attempt to perform _any_ validation.
