file_column: No such file or directory

Hi All -

I just installed file_column and am trying to make the simplest example work. I have one file upload control and I'm getting the following puzzling error.

It's complaining about a missing file or directory, but the first directory in the error exists. The second one doesn't because it's not supposed to, I'm renaming the first directory to the second one. The model containing the image column is property, and the column is called image. Has anybody seen this? Thanks for any help!

I'm running ruby 1.8.6 and rails 2.0.2.

Oh boy, it's amazing what a half a night of sleep can do for solving software problems. Wonder what a full night of sleep would do?

The error was because one of the intermediate directories in the destination directory name wasn't present. I may hack my copy of file_column to create the destination directory with all intermediate components before the move.

Here's the change I made in file_column.rb:

    def move_from(local_dir, just_uploaded)

#start new code       dirname = File.dirname(@dir) # dirname of parent dir       if not File.directory?(dirname)         FileUtils.mkdir_p dirname # if intermediate dirs are missing, create them       end #end new code

      # remove old permament dir first       # this creates a short moment, where neither the old nor       # the new files exist but we can't do much about this as       # filesystems aren't transactional.       FileUtils.rm_rf @dir # remove last component of path

      FileUtils.move local_dir, @dir

      @just_uploaded = just_uploaded     end

submit a patch, I guess :slight_smile: -R
