Question

I have a little problem with paperclip saving the data passed through the form…
If I’m trying to save the record with .save() it won’t save.. When I look in the server/log there are no errors or warnings for the paperclip gem :-/

# trying to save the record with save() -- not working :-/
def create
  @baan_import = BaanImport.new(params[:baan_import])
  if @baan_import.save
    redirect_to(baan_imports_url)
  else
    render 'new'
  end
end

Server-log: (using .save() in controller)
https://gist.github.com/1327347

I just don’t get it why it’s working if I’m using .create instead of .save()

# trying to save the record with Model.create() -- working!
def create
  @baan_import = BaanImport.create(params[:baan_import])
  redirect_to(baan_imports_url)
end

Server-log: (using .create() in controller)

Can some one explain me why it’s working with create and not with save??

Thanks,

Michael

Can you show us the BaanImport model. My first guess is you’re possibly missing baan_upload in attr_accessible on your model, and as a result, Rails will not let you mass assign the file parameter for upload.

Can you also confirm (would appear as though it’s properly set up) that your form has html => {:multipart => true} as an option?
