控制器可以在本地正常运行，但不能在heroku上运行

Question

I'm using carrierwave with amazon s3 and heroku to upload and store images. It works fine locally but for some reason the controller function "new" isn't being executed on heroku. I've printed the params[:controller] & params[:action] to the view, and both of them are correct, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Routes.rb

      Rails.application.routes.draw do
  resources :surroundings

  resources :headings

  resources :options

  resources :categories

  resources :mains

  resources :properties do


    resources :images, only: [:index, :new, :create, :destroy] do
    collection do 
    get 'update_main' 
    end

    end


    get 'addoption'
    post 'postoption'

end

root 'search#main'
get 'main' =>'search#main'

images_controller.rb

class ImagesController < ApplicationController




def new
#redirect_to property_images_path #used for trouble shooting - does not redirect
@property=Property.find(params[:property_id])
@image = Image.new

end


 def index
    @images = Property.find(params[:property_id]).images
  end



def update_main
#set the current main image to false
   r=Property.find(params[:property_id]).images.where("main" => true).first
   r.main=false unless r.nil?
   r.save unless r.nil?
   @image=Image.find(params[:main])
   @image.main=true;
   @image.save
 redirect_to property_images_path, notice: "The Image has been uploaded."
end


  def create
    @image = Image.new(image_params)
    @image.property_id=params[:property_id]
    if @image.save
      redirect_to property_images_path, notice: "The Image has been uploaded."
    else
      render "new"
    end
  end

  def destroy
    @image = Image.find(params[:id])
    @image.destroy
    redirect_to property_images_path, notice:  "The Image  has been deleted."
  end

private
  def image_params
   params.require(:image).permit(:attachment,:property_id)
  end
end

new.html.erb

<h1>Add new image</h1>
<%=params[:controller]%>
<%=params[:action]%>


<%= form_for([@property,@image]) do |f| %>
 <%= label_tag("Select image file") %>
   <%= f.file_field :attachment, class:"btn btn-default" %>

    <%= f.submit class:"btn btn-primary" %>

Answer 1

The issue is that since you've nested images under properties , you'll have to declare both @instance variables if you want to get the form_for to work:

def new
  @property = Property.find params[:property_id]
  @image    = Image.new
end

Of course, you do this already.

The problem, then, is that your Property with an id of 1 doesn't exist on your Production environment. You need to make sure you're handling your data-set with the same care as you would development (evaluating if dependent objects don't exist):

def new
   @property = Property.find params[:property_id]
   if @property 
      @image = @property.images.new
   else
     redirect_to root_path, notice: "No Property" 
   end
end

You'll also want to define multiple resources at once in your routes (to clean it up):

#config/routes.rb
resources :surroundings, :headings, :options, :categories, :mains
resources :properties do
  resources :images, only: [:index, :new, :create, :destroy] do
    get 'update_main', on: :collection
  end
  get  :addoption
  post :postoption
end

resources :search, path: "", only: [] do
  get :main, on: :collection
end

root 'search#main'

---

Update

The solution was trivial, the OP left a photos_controller.rb file with class ImagesController < ApplicationController declaration. Removing this file fixed the issue.
