rails active_storage:install IS NOT WORKING

Question

I have updated my rails api application from 5.1 to 5.2. I am using rails api only. I am trying to use the active storage. I think the problem is due to the line conf

Answer 1

Your problem is here:

require "active_storage"

You need to require the engine:

require "active_storage/engine"

Answer 2

The current rails official documents talks about the new application. But if you're upgrading a pre 5.2 app, you have to add or uncomment the field in application.rb

require "active_storage/engine"

For the new application, this will be already added.

Answer 3

Try running command in the project root

bin/rails activestorage:install

or

rake active_storage:install

Answer 4

Having this in the config

require "active_storage/engine"

and running this

bundle exec rails active_storage:install

This worked for me. I updated from rails 5.1 to 6.0.2.1
