Don’t simply test for the presence of the magic Paperclip attribute, it will return a paperclip Attachment object and thus always be true:
- if user.photo.present? # always true
= image_tag(user.photo.url)
Use #photo? instead:
- if user.photo?
= image_tag(user.photo.url)
user.photo? didn't work for me.
user.photo.exists? works well.
