jnunemaker / joint Goto Github PK

Hi John, got uploads working with Joint (thanks for the pointers on twitter, btw), but I'm having trouble getting the tests right. I've posted the issue on StackOverflow, not sure it's on Joint's side or Rails's (or my own, of course ;):

Testing this at the controller level since it's an api call with no view...

I just spent no less than two hours trying to figure out why the file i saved in gridfs had size 0, only to realize out of nowhere that read continues from where the file pointer is. Hence, it was trying to read from the end of my freshly written and still open Tempfile.

Anyway, just doing a simple tmp_file.rewind before passing the instance of to Joint did the trick.
I would presume this rewind is something Joint should do in Joint#save_attachments, and hence I'm classifying this as a bug.

I've recently upgraded to Rails 3.0.3 from Rails 3.0.1 and Joint no longer works in production mode. This is because the UploadedFile class has been changed in ActionDispatch. A good explanation can be found here - http://marklunds.com/articles/one/433

The actual error I get in production mode when doing a file upload is

TypeError (can't convert ActionDispatch::Http::UploadedFile into String):

For the moment I've rolled back to Rails 3.0.1. Have you got any pointers for making Joint work with the recent ActionDispatch updates?

Upgrading an app to Rails 3/MM 0.9.2 and using Bundler, got an error for Joint 0.5.5 which has a dependency on MM 0.8.6. Can you push a new tag of Joint to rubygems with the MM 0.9.X dependency?

Add
require 'active_support/concern'
in joint.rb could solve this problem.

Mongo::Grid reads IOs chunkwise to avoid unnecessary memory usage. Is there a particular reason why save_attachments rewinds and reads the io into memory?

See: https://github.com/jnunemaker/joint/blob/master/lib/joint/instance_methods.rb#L22

Noting this here (without a fix, sorry) mainly so others don't fall down the trap.

I was using Joint on an embedded doc (in another embedded doc) and it looked like it was saving, all the metadata was there, but I couldn't get the files out.

LICENSE file seems to be missing. I would like to use this for a project but can't before you clear out which license it's using. Thanks man :)
