I’m using the attachment\_fu plugin in the following manner to upload a  
file.  
[http://khamsouk.souvanlasy.com/2007/5/1/ajax-file-uploads-in-rails-using-attachment\_fu-and-responds\_to\_parent](http://khamsouk.souvanlasy.com/2007/5/1/ajax-file-uploads-in-rails-using-attachment_fu-and-responds_to_parent)

I ge tthe following error if I upload a file that’s over 1K or so. It  
works fine for small files (500 bytes or so):

```
1 error prohibited this raw data file from being saved
There were problems with the following fields:
  * Size is not included in the list

```

This is using the POST action in the scaffold\_resource generated  
controller

Chirag

# POST /raw\_data\_files

# POST /raw\_data\_files.xml

def create  
@raw\_data\_file = RawDataFile.new(params[:raw\_data\_file])

```
respond_to do |format|
  if @raw_data_file.save
    flash[:notice] = 'RawDataFile was successfully created.'
    format.html { redirect_to raw_data_file_url(@raw_data_file) }
    format.xml { head :created, :location =>

```

raw\_data\_file\_url(@raw\_data\_file) }  
else  
format.html { render :action =\> “new” }  
format.xml { render :xml =\> @raw\_data\_file.errors.to\_xml }  
end  
end  
end

That’s a validation error. Either you set your min/max values  
incorrectly, or you don’t have rmagick/imagescience/minimagick so that  
attachment\_fu can set the correct size.

I changed the following line in the model from

:max\_size =\> 2.megabytes

to  
:size =\> 0.megabyte…2.megabytes

and it worked. Thanks rick!
