Hi,    thr's a strange behavior with attachment_fu. when i upload a file, sometimes it gets uploaded without prb/error msg and sometimes the same file gives the error as size error msg. particularly, when i upload the next file immediately after another. can anybody help me in this? thanks in advance...

this is my mugshots model:- class Mugshot < ActiveRecord::Base   has_attachment :content_type => ['application/vnd.ms-excel'],                    :storage => :file_system,                    :max_size => 5.megabytes,                    :path_prefix=>'public/temp_files' # validates_as_attachment   def validate     errors.add_to_base("You must choose a file to upload") unless self.filename     unless self.filename == nil       # Images should only be GIF, JPEG, or PNG       [:content_type].each do |attr_name|         enum = attachment_options[attr_name]         unless enum.nil? || enum.include?(send(attr_name))           errors.add_to_base("You can only upload .xls file")         end       end       # Images should be less than 5 MB       [:size].each do |attr_name|         enum = attachment_options[attr_name]         unless enum.nil? || enum.include?(send(attr_name))           errors.add_to_base("file size should be smaller than 5 MB in size")         end       end     end   end end

hi Reinhart,    hey, that worked!!! though "errors.add attr_name, ActiveRecord::Errors.add_to_base("You can only upload .xls file")unless enum.nil? || enum.include?(send(attr_name))" gave me NoMethod error, so i kept the default line back. that gave me default error msg for wrong upload. but that worked.    and even if i put ":size => 0.megabyte..5.megabytes," line in my code, that also worked fine :slight_smile:    now i could upload the files continuously... without error :smiley:

   Thanks a ton Reinhart
