Sorry about that confusion. Line 25 is: @image.attributes = valid_image_attributes.merge({:uploaded_data => fixture_file_upload('/textfile.txt',text/plain')}) (textfile.txt is located in my /spec/fixtures/ dir.) That line doesn't throw the error if I change it to something like: @image.attributes = valid_image_attributes.merge({:uploaded_data => "foo"}) But of course the spec fails. :) Leslie > >> >> A less than helpful error message.
