migration of Attachment_fu to Paperclip

migration-to-paperclip-notes.md

To make rerocess! work add these lines to your Gemfile. Try to add paperclip specific version compatible cocaine gem version. For my case those were below:

gem "paperclip", "~> 3.0.4" gem 'cocaine', '0.3.1'

Also run this command in your console

gem install rmagick

Then run your migration.

If the reprocess! method of paperclip still not generating thumbnail/styles images. Just creating original images clone. So to resolve this we have to run command [1] below:

rake paperclip:refresh:missing_styles

Above command will generate thumbnails as well as a file at public/system/paperclip_attachments.yml if you want to regenerate thumbnails remove this file and run the above command again.
