how do i view an active storage uploaded image from my index file, this error comes up

Question

<%= image_tag (complaint.image) %> This line breeds this error, Can't resolve image into URL: to_model delegated to attachment, but the attachment is nil Without the image_tag, I get an active_storage object; #, how then do I get past this

Answer 1

Just check if its nil before displaying the image.

<%= image_tag(complaint.image) if complaint.image %>

Also do NOT put a space between the method name and the parens in Ruby. Since parens are optional in Ruby it will be treated as a single argument and not a list of arguments.

foo (bar, baz) # causes a syntax error
