multipart_uploader_form rails helper

[DivyaNyros]

I used the form helper found on the readme in my rhtml . But while executing this in browser it was throwing as " undefined method `join' for nil:NilClass " .

Can any one please help me how to solve this issue .

[JahangerGull]

same is happening for me, any finding/luck over it ?

[JahangerGull]

the form helper options is expecting :types key which has not been passed

def multipart_uploader_form(options = {})
uploader_digest = S3Multipart::Uploader.serialize(options[:uploader])
html = file_field_tag options[:input_name], :accept => options[:types].join(','), :multiple => 'multiple', :data => {:uploader => uploader_digest}

Thanks

[lymecca]

same for me too, any update to solve it?

[JahangerGull]

Yes I have forked and patched the gem for my need. There are other issues as well so also make them fix like a real big file of some gigs will never get loaded because of pre signed urls x-amz-date is more then 15 mins for higher parts when they started to upload.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply JahangerGull !

I'm nb in github.... How should I proceed to test your forked on my dev app, instead of maxgillett master branch?

[JahangerGull]

You can use following in your Gemfile, as i am also using below line.

gem 's3_multipart', :git => "https://github.com/JahangerGull/s3_multipart.git", :branch => 'dev'

Still there are some pause issues that are in progress and will be completed in couple of days, once done then you may need to change :branch point to :master as its on :dev at the moment.

Thanks

Tks JahangerGull,

nothing happening when I select files to upload, let me see what's happening...

... I'm going crazy trying to make this gem work on my project. Do you know if there is a sample application with this gem configured?

I believe the readme is just off in documenting how to properly use the helper. It looks like the helper method requires an additional param that lists the types. This seems to work albeit a bit repetitive:

<%= multipart_uploader_form(input_name: 'uploader',
                            uploader: 'VideoUploader',
                            types: [".wmv", ".avi", ".mp4", ".mkv", ".mov", ".mpeg"],
                            button_class: 'submit-button',
                            button_text: 'Upload selected videos',
                            html: %Q{<button class="upload-button">Select videos</button>}) %>

alternatively I guess you could do

types: ["video/*"]

" Do you know if there is a sample application with this gem configured?" I'll add a +1 vote for that. The instructions in 'Getting Started' don't work.

If anyone has a working application out of this gem, please could you post it so we can see it.

[JahangerGull]

Well don't have any idea that there is any public app at the moment or not,
though i am able to configure this gem with couple of patches. Can you tell
me where u have been stuck may able to help you ?

Thanks

Ok, I've set stuff up as in the instructions. Made my first modification (because the instructions don't work) to get 'types' into the form helper
<%= multipart_uploader_form(input_name: 'uploader',$
uploader: 'VideoUploader',$
button_class: 'submit-button',~$
button_text: 'Upload selected videos',$
html: %Q{Select videos},$
types:%w(wmv avi mp4 mkv mov mpeg))$
%>$
And when I use the form I see three buttons, 'choose files', 'select videos' and 'upload selected videos'
'choose files' works, I can choose a file, but 'select videos' and 'Upload selected videos' do nothing. I'm puzzled why there should be 'choose files' and 'select videos' buttons, but we'll leave that.
The problem seems to be the modifications required to the javascript the instructions tell us to put in application.js. The code just sets the list of files to be an empty array. and the instructions further on down are vague and high level. So I know I need to change the javascript, but don't know what to change it to.

[JahangerGull]

yes things are confusing here.

Try these

https://github.com/JahangerGull/s3_multipart_example
http://s3-multipart-eg.herokuapp.com/file_upload/new

Only one thing is missing S3 keys and bucket name, bucket name is to be
given in 2 files one in aws.yml and other is application.js file.

Once done then file upload to S3 should work for you with multipart.

After this just select the file and clicking on "Upload selected videos"
will upload the selected file. (Select only one file).

Let me know if you are still facing any problem, though quite sure it will
work for you as its working for me :)

Thanks

I tried your example code, change the bucket name to be the one I'm using, selected a file, pressed 'select videos' and 'upload' and nothing happens. If I check the console then I see that it hit console.log("There was an error") in application.js

If I try your heroku app then I get exactly the same thing (except the error has a different line number). But it works for you, what am I doing wrong? Pressing the buttons in the wrong order or something?

[JahangerGull]

What is the file size you are trying to upload ? there is min 5 MB file
size limit from S3 side.

Please confirm else will add proper setup on heroku so u can see file
uploading there.

Thanks

Working on your Heroku app

I tried with some larger files and I still get 'there was an error'

I select a file after pressing choose files, I press the 'select videos' button (I've no idea why that's there) and then press the upload button. Nothing happens and if I open up inspect element so I can see what's going out in the console I see 'there was an error'

I've also tried it without pressing 'select videos' and get the same thing.

What file types have you set the thing to accept?

Thanks

John

[JahangerGull]

Yes, i forgot to run migrations, please try to upload now on heroku server
it should work, just tested a 20MB mp4 file. In JS console you will be able
to see Network activities of file uploading.

Do test it today, as i will remove bucket configs in a day.

thanks

Brilliant, it works now, and the copy of your example on my system. Seems that all I needed to do was select a file big enough, and with the appropriate extension.

What does that button 'select videos' do? It seems to be completely superfluous.

[JohnSmall]

Whoops, I forgot to add a big
THANKS

[JahangerGull]

Good to hear it works for you.

well i thinks it useless, you can ignore it and go ahead.

For now i am removing keys, heorku application will not allow you to upload
files any more.

Thanks
