delayed_paperclip and Ajax

Use delayed_paperclip to process Paperclip attachments in the background. Use Rails routes and Ajax to check when processing is done.

InfiniteInterpolationError

Paperclip model which checks an upload (its temp file) whether it's an animated GIF. If so it sets attachment_is_animated in the db to true. But, because this job needs to go into the background (DelayedJob), the temp file is probably gone by the time it's needed, which is most likely what's causing the InfiniteInterpolationError.

The way DelayedJob works is, it serializes the model, sticks it into the db … till it can be processed. Then it re-marshals it … but this process is fragile.

For example, this bit in the is_animated_gif? method: attachment.queued_for_write[:original]

… that “queued_for_write” … Paperclip stores the uploaded image in a Tmpfile until it gets uploaded to S3. This is not something that could be serialized. The Tmpfile is probably deleted before the DelayedJob runs. Also, I remember during one Paperclip upgrade, they broke that method … I don’t think it works the same way in newer versions.
