Shoulda macros not loading when using Paperclip as a gem

[Kyle Fox]

This message has been posted numerous times, but hasn't (to my
knowledge) ever received a response.

We're using Paperclip as a gem. When I try to use the shoulda macro
`has_attached_file`, I encounter this error: undefined method
`should_have_attached_file'

I realize the macros will work if we run `rake gems:unpack` but I
don't want to vendor my gems.

How can I get Paperclip's shoulda macros loading? I would really,
really, appreciate any kind of response -- and judging by the number
of messages on the subject, other people would as well.

Thanks,
Kyle.

New to paperclip and that hit me too. I just copied it over. I assume this point is moot when things are more standardized around the gem bundler. At least that was the impression I got.

How did you just copy it over? I'm still kinda new to this ...

[Ken Collins]

In my app I just created a directory "test/should_macros" and copied the "paperclip.rb" file from the gem over. If you don't want to dig around where your gems are stored, you can just download the project from github and do the same.
