Hello Everyone, I am working on a small Phoenix/Ecto project. One of the features of this application is going to be that people can upload images. Right now I am using arc (and arc_ecto) to make the uploading procedure easier. However, I want to store the dimensions and other metadata of the imag…

All right! I have since learned that the :path field is a path to a temporary file (including the filename itself). The :filename is the name used during uploading, which can be used to do (a weak form of!) MIME-checking, and possibly to store it in your app, etc. I was able to call ImageMagick usi…

[image] Qqwy: What I am yet to figure out though, is how this code can be tested properly. Please help! I’d hardcode a known file in the project somewhere, create a custom %Plug.Upload{} with the proper :path set, then just call it and test the output. :slight_smile:

IIRC, when I was working with file uploads in tests, I was creating Plug.Upload struct manually and passed it as regular parameter to get, post etc. macros in controller tests: post conn, image_path(conn, :create), upload: %Plug.Upload{...} EDIT: but of course the question is about changesets …

Maybe validity of path + filename have to be checked also? I’m still struggling with the when and how of unit tests. Be humble about what your unit tests can achieve, unless you have an extrinsic requirements oracle for the unit under test. Unit tests are unlikely to test more than one trillionth o…

I’m trying to test a file upload in my controller test. I’m using the approach you recommended: [image] arkgil: IIRC, when I was working with file uploads in tests, I was creating Plug.Upload struct manually and passed it as regular parameter to get , post etc. macros in controller tests: pos…

When you do it as post(conn, table_upload_path(conn, :create, table_upload: params)), you are passing the parameters as part of the query string, i.e. as part of the URL. You need to pass it as part of the post: conn = post(conn, table_upload_path(conn, :create), table_upload: params)
