Hi,I have been experimenting with the code from the replies to this post so far, but still can't achieve what I want. If a file is selected it is uploaded just fine. However if no file is selected the application spits out the following error:
NoMethodError in UploadController#create
undefined method `original_filename' for nil:NilClass |Rails.root: /home/resource_portal/website|Application Trace <http://localhost:3000/upload#> | Framework Trace <http://localhost:3000/upload#> | Full Trace <http://localhost:3000/upload#>
|rake-0.8.7/ruby/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-3.0.3/lib/active_support/whiny_nil.rb:48:in `method_missing' app/models/upload.rb:13:in `save' app/controllers/upload_controller.rb:13:in `create' rake-0.8.7/ruby/1.9.1/gems/actionpack-3.0.3/lib/action_controller/metal/implicit_render.rb:4:in `send_action' rake-0.8.7/ruby/1.9.1/gems/actionpack-3.0.3/lib/abstract_controller/base.rb:151:in `process_action' rake-0.8.7/ruby/1.9.1/gems/actionpack-3.0.3/lib/action_controller/metal/rendering.rb:11:in `process_action' | ...I'm guessing I therefore need to be able to validate whether there is something in 'file_field' before the post action happens, but I'm not sure how to do this. Any other suggestions would be great!
Also Now I'm confused about the best place for this code to go. I was originally just putting one if statement in my controller, but as this is validation I guess it should go in the model.
I should probably also point out that files are not being stored in a database. Instead I am using GIT to version them and keep track of their history.
My current code is attached. Thanks, Jen. On 21/06/11 13:46, Chirag Singhal wrote:
It would be better to delegate that job to Upload model. Then you could write something like this: #posts to the data model. post = Upload.new(params[:upload]) if post.save puts "file uploaded" render 'upload' repo.commit_all(params[:message]) else redirect_to 'upload' end --You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
