CarrierWave initialization file for testing with fixtures and support S3 in staging and production.

carrier_wave.rb

# NullStorage provider for CarrierWave for use in tests.  Doesn't actually
# upload or store files but allows test to pass as if files were stored and
# the use of fixtures.

    @uploader = uploader
  end

  def identifier
    uploader.filename
  end

  def store!(_file)
    true

  def retrieve!(_identifier)
    true
  end
end

CarrierWave.configure do |config|
  # Make the tmp dir work on Heroku
  config.cache_dir = "#{Rails.root}/tmp/uploads"

      # When precompiling assets Fog will be initialized and needs to be
      # initialized (even though it will never touch S3), provide some values

  elsif Rails.env.test?

In case you have set storage in your uploader file you have to disable it for tests otherwise it will overwrite your test config

thanks pjar!!! 👍

THANKS! Works perfectly.

A suggested edit came through on StackOverflow that was rejected by other editors to the retrieve! method that might be useful:

  # Retrieve a blank file that can be used your app
  # Put a blank image in your test/fixtures/files folder
  # Use a copy of that image from tmp folder
  def retrieve!(_identifier)
    file = Rails.root.join('test', 'fixtures', 'files', 'blank.jpg')
    tmp = Rails.root.join('tmp', 'blank_tmp.jpg')
    FileUtils.cp(file, tmp)
    CarrierWave::SanitizedFile.new(tmp)
  end

class NullStorage < CarrierWave::Storage::Abstract
  def store!(_file)
    _file
  end
end

The default behavior is to return the sanitized file.
Also, we can simply extend the Abstract class to make it cleaner.
