rails4 + mongoid +载波+ fog + jquery-file-upload-TypeError（没有将nil隐式转换为String）

Question

I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong here with a multiple file upload. I have another rails4 app with a similar setup, just with postgresql rather than mongoid and i havent run into this issue. I am not sure if it's something with carrierwave-mongoid or what. How do i further narrow down what is actually causing the TypeError???

Update Recreated entire app and used Postgresql, and running into the same exact issue.. so its not isolated to carrierwave-mongoid like i thought.

Answer 1

Taking a quick look I'd say you've set your picture_params incorrectly; at least based on the POST submission string. "file" is nested under "image", it isn't in the root level of the hash.

Rails 4 - Strong Parameters - Nested Objects

Here's some visual formatting for your POST string:

{
"utf8"=>"✓"
"authenticity_token"=>"MPtXrjrQ+dLb67LVD+aYUrMIYfCUBQWLOaOztlB2sSU="
"image"=>{
    "gallery_id"=>"3"
    "file"=>[#<ActionDispatch::Http::UploadedFile:0x007fb55e80c378 @tempfile=#<Tempfile:/var/folders/3m/t1v11gzj32n0fdbhwr823y600000gn/T/RackMultipart20141002-33694-3bmoib>
        @original_filename="10495567_1510476362523625_7774203923998269219_o.jpg"
        @content_type="image/jpeg"
        @headers="Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"image[file][]\"; filename=\"10495567_1510476362523625_7774203923998269219_o.jpg\"\r\nContent-Type: image/jpeg\r\n">]
}
}

So what you'd need would be:

params.require(:picture).permit(:image => [:gallery_id, file: []])

However since your form submission hash doesn't match the name of your model - for whatever reason, try:

params.require(:image).permit(:gallery_id, file: [])

EDIT: I'm also curious about why you're nesting the file and gallery_id attributes inside image . That will change the way rails assigns the parameters to the model and perhaps is why you're getting nil. I think the real problem is the way you've set up your form. Take a look at your routes.rb file; the URL ends in /images , however your model is Picture . It seems you have a conflict of nomenclature - probably in multiple areas of your code.

Answer 2

@JakeTheSnake may be onto something. On a more specific level, I took a quick look myself, based on your backtrace.

See the source code here on GitHub , line 159, which is the line that the first two lines of your backtrace reference:

carrierwave (0.10.0) lib/carrierwave/uploader/cache.rb:159:in `join'
carrierwave (0.10.0) lib/carrierwave/uploader/cache.rb:159:in `cache_path'

Grains of salt, here, because I know nothing about Carrierwave and very little information to go off of. However, I searched the 0.10.0 carrierwave docs for method "cache_path", and found nothing. Note, the first line of your backtrace references "join", as in File.join. My guess is that one of the three calls within that File.join, cache_name , cache_path , or the final root are returning nil. File.join is trying to convert this nil into a String , which will not happen in Ruby.

I know this answer is not as technical as it probably could be, and that it doesn't come close to directly solving the issue. I only hope that it can at least point you in the right direction or help in some way.

Please let me know if I can be of any more assistance. Good luck.

EDIT: It could be anywhere, I've gathered from looking into more of the code referenced in the backtrace, leading me to believe @JakeTheSnake really is onto something there. I believe that he is probably right when he says it is something high-level (like a misconfigured form or controller, something small), however, deeply analyzing your backtraces and the code behind them is super, super helpful and can yield many pieces of the puzzle. I'd take a good, hard look at the code referenced in the backtrace, if you have not already. Again, good luck, and let me know if I can help more.

Answer 3

This is my solution:
Model:

class Picture < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Rails.application.routes.url_helpers
  mount_uploader :image, SimpleImageUploader

  def to_jq_upload
  {
    "name" => read_attribute(:image),
    "size" => image.size,
    "url" => image.url,
    "thumbnail_url" => image.thumb.url,
    "delete_url" => picture_path(:id => id),
    "delete_type" => "DELETE"
  }
  end
end

Action:

  def create
    pics = picture_params
    @picture = Picture.new(image: pics[:image].first)
    if @picture.save
       ...
    end
  end
  ...
  private
  def picture_params
    params.require(:picture).permit(image: [])
  end

Shortly view:

<%= form_for Picture.new, :html => {:multipart => true, :id => "fileupload"} do |f| %>
  <%= f.file_field :image, multiple: true, accept: 'image/*' %>
  ..
<% end %>
