Validation of image dimensions with CarrierWave
# encoding: utf-8
class AvatarUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
include CarrierWave::MiniMagick
# Choose what kind of storage to use for this uploader:
storage :file
# Override the directory where uploaded files will be stored.
# This is a sensible default for uploaders that are meant to be mounted:
def store_dir
"uploads/#{model.class.to_s.underscore}/#{mounted_as}/#{model.id}"
end
# Provide a default URL as a default if there hasn't been a file uploaded:
def default_url
"/uploads/missing/#{model.class.to_s.underscore}/#{version_name}.png"
end
# for image size validation
# fetching dimensions in uploader, validating it in model
before :cache, :capture_size_before_cache # callback, example here: http://goo.gl/9VGHI
def capture_size_before_cache(new_file)
if model.avatar_upload_width.nil? || model.avatar_upload_height.nil?
model.avatar_upload_width, model.avatar_upload_height = `identify -format "%wx %h" #{new_file.path}`.split(/x/).map { |dim| dim.to_i }
end
end
# resizing uploads
process :resize_to_fill => [148, 148]
# Add a white list of extensions which are allowed to be uploaded.
# For images you might use something like this:
def extension_white_list
%w(jpg jpeg png)
end
end

Do you have the avatar_upload_width and avatar_upload_height columns in the database?

I added attr_accessors as it doesn't need to persist between model loads.

There's any way do to such validation in the Uploader?

That's because I would like to test that in the UploaderTest. Or am I doing the wrong approach?

I added attr_accessors as it doesn't need to persist between model loads.

So add this to the model code please. Otherwise it can confuse some developers.

In my case, I've validation on image for presence true. So if I submit the form without selecting any image it shown as error undefined method<' for nil:NilClass`on lineerrors.add :avatar, "Dimensions of uploaded avatar should be not less than 150x150 pixels." if self.avatar_upload_width < 150 || avatar_upload_height < 150 . Can you guys help in this?

just in case it's still useful for anyone, I added this to the User model:

attr_accessor :avatar_upload_width, :avatar_upload_height
validate :check_avatar_dimensions, if :uploading?

def uploading?
  avatar_upload_width.present? && avatar_upload_height.present?
end

Thus, this validation will only be triggered if we are uploading a photo (and not if we are just updating the user name)
