ActiveStorage::DirectUploadsController - Cannot POST /rails/active_storage/direct_uploads

belgoros · October 31, 2018, 10:13am

I tried to use dire upload way from Ember app to Rails API and used ember-active-storage add-on. Rails responds with the following error when I tried to attach a file:

Cannot POST /rails/active_storage/direct_uploads

404 - Resource was not found.

All Rails controller are protected with before_action filter defined in ApplicationController:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::API

before_action :authorize_request

attr_reader :current_user

private

def authorize_request @current_user = (AuthorizeApiRequest.new(request.headers).call)[:user] end end

``

I inspected the headers used when posting the request, - it seems to be OK and contains Authorization:

Authorization:

Bearer eyJhbG…

and the request payload:

blob: {filename: “Screenshot 2018-10-31 at 10.45.21.png”, content_type: “image/png”, byte_size: 110466,…}
byte_size: 110466
checksum: “L+1wS2rPR7cKkXP/Rb/rig==”
content_type: “image/png”
filename: “Screenshot 2018-10-31 at 10.45.21.png”

What’s wrong with that ? Thank you.

Here is what I found on the Net and it helped to move forward but there are still some errors:

I created DirectUploadsController by extending it from ActiveStorage::DirectUploadsController as follows: class DirectUploadsController < ActiveStorage::DirectUploadsController protect_from_forgery with: :exception skip_before_action :verify_authenticity_token end

``

I defined a new route corresponding to the post request to the above route:

Rails.application.routes.draw do resources :posts post ‘/rails/active_storage/direct_uploads’ => ‘direct_uploads#create’ end

``

I modified the Post serializer as follows:

class PostSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer include Rails.application.routes.url_helpers

attributes :id, :title, :body, :tag_ids, :archived, :photo

def photo url_for(object.photo) if object.photo.attached? end end

``

Here is Post model:

class Post < ApplicationRecord serialize :tag_ids, Array validates :title, :body, :tag_ids, presence: true

has_one_attached :photo end

``

And finally PostsController has a new strong_parameter attribute - photo:

def create @post = Post.new(post_params)

if @post.save
  render json: @post, status: :created, location: @post
else
  respond_with_errors @post
end

end

def post_params ActiveModelSerializers::Deserialization.jsonapi_parse!(params, only: [:title, :body, :tag_ids, :archived, :photo]) end

``

But when posting a new Post data, there are still errors:
