Question

I am using paperclip to accept image uploads. I have the following validation on my attachment:

validates_attachment :image, content_type: { content_type: ['image/jpg', 'image/png'] }, size: { in: 0..500.kilobytes }

Uploading a png works fine, but uploading a jpeg does not work, and results in a save error which is displayed in the form. The error is on image_content_type. How can I debug this problem?

Answer 1

I believe the correct MIME type to use is image/jpeg:

validates_attachment :image, content_type: { content_type: ['image/jpeg', 'image/png'] }, size: { in: 0..500.kilobytes }
