paperclip where to place the missing.png default image?

Question

I use paperclip in my app, but my controller tests are failing because of:

BlogsControllerTest#test_should_update_blog:
Paperclip::AdapterRegistry::NoHandle         


        

Answer 1

For this line of code:

Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:default_url] = "/images/default_image.png"

Paperclip is looking for images under /public/images/default_image.png

update:

so you have defined style big and thumb. Paperclip will look for img in public/images/thumb/default_image.png or public/images/big/default_image.png depending what style will you call in <% image_tag @model.image.url(:style) %>.

update #2 (according to update #4 from author's question)

gotcha! If you want model to use :default_url don't send :image in params. remove image from params and lets see how it goes`

Answer 2

In Rails 5, I managed to work using :style in the path:

Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:default_url] = "/images/folder/:style/missing.png"

and if, for example, this image doesn't exist:

<%= image_tag @photo.picture.url(:medium) %>

the result is

/images/folder/medium/missing.png
