I get an error that look like this:
undefined method `post_image_will_change!' for #<Post:0xf4e9184>
app/controllers/posts_controller.rb:43:in `new'
app/controllers/posts_controller.rb:43:in `create'
I've included this in my "post" model:
attr_accessible :title, :name, :content, :post_image
mount_uploader :post_image, PostImageUploader
and in _form.html.erb I've added:
:html => { :multipart => true }
I looked CarrierWave Error but that doesn't help me.
Any clues of what generates that error? I've migrated the database and so forth (followed the railscasts guide on carrierwave exactly..)
The OP comments that he fixed it, however there's no answer set so I thought I'd add one for people coming across this in the future, which included myself until I figured it out :)
undefined method `x_will_change!' for # happens if you forget to add a column in your model's db table. If you have a model User and a AvatarUploader, with the uploader mounted as in the Carrierwave docs:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
mount_uploader :avatar, AvatarUploader
end
Then the error will read
undefined method `avatar_will_change!' for #<User:0x00...>
To fix it (based on this example) add a column in a migration run the following in the console:
rails g migration AddAvatarToUsers avatar:string
This will generate the following migration:
class AddAvatarToUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
add_column :users, :avatar, :string
end
end
Then migrate to apply the change (again in the console):
rake db:migrate
I suppose that author just forgot to run:
rake db:migrate
ALso, if you met such error inside of your tests then you should run:
rake db:test:prepare
Also, for anyone getting this error on heroku, you need to run
heroku run rake db:migrate
and
heroku restart
in the terminal after adding/removing fields/tables from your database.
Kreek, this is obviously a minor oversight, as most people would have realized by now, you probably meant to run this command, as one should, outside the console, otherwise, one would get the following:
'NameError: undefined local variable or method `migrate' for main:Object'.
