Paperclip: How to store a picture in a Rails console?

ruby-on-rails ruby-on-rails-3 console paperclip

To further clarify @andrea's answer:

YourPaperclippedModelHere.new(:your_paperclip_field => File.new(path, "r"))

So if your model is called Image and your paperclip field is data:

Image.new(:data => File.new(path_to_your_file, "r"))

ruby-on-rails ruby-on-rails-3 console paperclip

If this is the model:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base  has_attached_file :avatarend

then the following should work from the console:

>> User.create(:avatar => File.open('/path/to/image.jpg', 'rb'))

ruby-on-rails ruby-on-rails-3 console paperclip

I dont know if it is what you want ... butto save an paperclip asset from consoleYou could simple use a File instance .a.e.

Image.new :data=>File.new("/path/to/image.jpg","r")
