Video Uploading with Rails and dragonfly-gem

[Michael Blum]

Hello!

I am using Dragonfly in rails. I have implemented it according to this tutorial and it is working very good.

Now I want to also upload videofiles. Unfortunately I am not able to get it running. :(
I hope you guys can help me find the error:


initializers/dragonfly.rb

require 'dragonfly'

# Configure
Dragonfly.app.configure do
  plugin :imagemagick

  secret 'd045734b043b4383a246c5c8daf2d3e31217dc8b030f21861e4fd16c4b72d382'

  url_format '/media/:job/:name'

  datastore :file,
            root_path: Rails.root.join('uploads/images/'),
            server_root: Rails.root.join('uploads')
end

Dragonfly.app(:videos).configure do
  secret 'd045734b043b4383a246c5c8daf2d3e31217dc8b030f21861e4fd16c4b72d382'

  url_format "/media/:job/:name"

  datastore :file,
            root_path: Rails.root.join('uploads/videos/'),
            server_root: Rails.root.join('uploads')
end

# Logger
Dragonfly.logger = Rails.logger

# Mount as middleware
Rails.application.middleware.use Dragonfly::Middleware
Rails.application.middleware.use Dragonfly::Middleware, :videos

# Add model functionality
if defined?(ActiveRecord::Base)
  ActiveRecord::Base.extend Dragonfly::Model
  ActiveRecord::Base.extend Dragonfly::Model::Validations
end

Video-Model:

class Video < ActiveRecord::Base

  dragonfly_accessor :video, app: :videos, app_name: :videos do
    storage_options do |video|
      { path: "videos/#{Video.video_uid}-#{video.name}.webm" }
    end
  end
end

Video-Controller: (extract)

@video = Video.new(video_params)
@video.save

Now when I upload a video, it correctly calles the video-controller and it is correctly saved in the database! But unfortunately the video can not be found in the desired directory (uploads/videos/).
What am I doing wrong?
I hope you can help me.

Best regards
Michael

hey Michael,

I believe if you’re going to do more than one app, you have to name all the apps. I would go back to your default app and make sure it’s using a name like ‘:images’ as well.
