Manually upload and save files in Carrierwave - ruby

Question

I have a directory of existing files which I need to migrate into my rails app as part of a legacy migration. Essentially I need to upload these files manually and save a new record for them in the database. I haven't quite found the proper way to do this. Currently I have the following in a rake task:
#attachments.each do |attachment|
begin
new_attachment = Attachment.new
#attachment_file_path = "/home/username/Attachments/" + attachment.Filename
file = File.open(#attachment_file_path)
new_attachment[:file] = new_attachment.file.store!(file)
# Map old record fields to new
new_attachment.attributes = {
:project_id => attachment.ProjectID,
:name => attachment.Description,
:user_id => attachment.UserId,
:created_at => attachment.CreatedDate,
:updated_at => attachment.LastModifiedDate
}
new_attachment.save!
puts "Attachment added successfully "
rescue => error
puts "Error migrating Attachment: #{error}"
end
end
attachment.rb
class Attachment < ActiveRecord::Base
mount_uploader :file, FileUploader
end
uploader:
class FileUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
include CarrierWave::RMagick
include CarrierWave::MimeTypes
process :set_content_type
storage :fog
def store_dir
"uploads/#{model.class.to_s.underscore}/#{mounted_as}/#{model.id}"
end
def extension_white_list
%w(jpg jpeg gif png pdf doc docx txt)
end
version :thumb do
process resize_to_fit: [152, nil]
end
def default_url
ActionController::Base.helpers.asset_path("fallback/" + [version_name, "default.png"].compact.join('_'))
end
protected
def image?(new_file)
if new_file.content_type == nil
return false
else
new_file.content_type.include? 'image'
end
end
end
This does not work currently. The file never gets uploaded, and occasionally I get the following error:
Failed to manipulate with rmagick, maybe it is not an image? Original Error: no decode delegate for this image format
In this instance, the file is a '.doc' file.
What is the correct way to open a local file and upload it manually via Carrierwave?
Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Try this
#attachments.each do |attachment|
begin
options = {
:project_id => attachment.ProjectID,
:name => attachment.Description,
:user_id => attachment.UserId,
:created_at => attachment.CreatedDate,
:updated_at => attachment.LastModifiedDate,
:file => File.new(File.join("/home/username/Attachments/",attachment.Filename))
}
new_attachment = Attachment.new(options)
new_attachment.save!
puts "Attachment added successfully "
rescue => error
puts "Error migrating Attachment: #{error}"
end
end
Perhaps that would do for you as carrierwave would internally call store! for you
Question?
Failed to manipulate with rmagick, maybe it is not an image? Original Error: no decode delegate for this image format
Not sure what are you trying to over here because you have define an image? method which is not specified in condition also is that something that you want the content_type to be only present for image file
if no perhaps only the process call would work
process :set_content_type
if yes then perhaps you have to do something like this
process :set_content_type , :if => :image?
def image?(new_file)
%w(jpg jpeg gif).include?(new_file.extension)
end
Hope this help
EDIT based upon the comment
try this just used the condition same logic
version :thumb ,:if => image? do
// your code
end
