undefined local variable or method `filepicker_js_include_tag'

[dgalarza]

Hello, I recently added the filepicker-rails gem to a Rails 4.0.2 project. It appears that the view helpers are not being included properly as I end up getting an 'undefined local variable or method' error for any of the helpers in FilepickerRails::ApplicationHelper.

The form helpers appear to be working fine however.

Confirmed, same thing with me

[dylanjha]

put this in ApplicationController:

helper FilepickerRails::Engine.helpers

Guys, sorry for that, I create some features specs to this bug dont come back anymore.

I made a new release today, here is the news.

@dgalarza congratz for the StrongParametersMatcher, we are realy close to add suport to the rails 4.1.0 😉

So I'm using the filepicker-rails Gem in version 1.1.0 with Rails 4.0.2 and I still get the same issue. @dylanjha fix helps here, but it would be great if it works by just including the filepicker_js_include_tag in the layout.

[maurogeorge]

@pmuens I added a appraisal for rails 4.0.2 on my local machine and all specs still passes. I will create a simple app to test this, when I have some time.

[pmuens]

@maurogeorge thank you very much!

[maurogeorge]

@pmuens https://gist.github.com/maurogeorge/11269467 I created a sample app and all run as expected. Take a look at the gist and the README, probably you missed something. Let me know when you test

[pmuens]

@maurogeorge thank you very much for your effort! Your test application seems to work fine.

In the meantime, I needed to switch to carrierwave-filepickerio. The problem back then (with filepicker-rails) was still not resolved. Maybe I've missed something.

But thank you very much for your effort and your test application which shows that filepicker-rails works with Rails 4.0.2.

@pmuens thanks for the feedback 👍

Confirming this bug still exists in Rails 4.1.2 and filepicker-rails 1.2.0

[maurogeorge]

@Oshuma can you double check? This bug was covered with the feature spec. Take a look at this gist and README

[Oshuma]

Yep, definitely an issue with those versions I mentioned. @dylanjha's fix (manually including the helpers in ApplicationController) is what I had to do.

[maurogeorge]

@Oshuma I created a new rails app with Rails 4.1.2 and filepicker-rails 1.2.0 and works. Take a look at this gist.

I guess you can try follow this steps:

• Add the Gem on Gemfile
• Add the config key
• Add the JS tag
• Add to your form

One question, do you try restart the server?

[Oshuma]

@maurogeorge I did restart my server after running bundle install. Also, I ran ./bin/spring stop to make sure it was fully shutdown.

[maurogeorge]

@Oshuma try run with bundle exec rails

[Oshuma]

@maurogeorge I always run rails related commands through bundler.

[maurogeorge]

@Oshuma you are on a fresh app? I am out of ideas =)
I tested and works well.

[Oshuma]

@maurogeorge Yea, I dunno, man. At any rate, including the helpers manually works just fine.

[maurogeorge]

@Oshuma ok, I will keep this bug closed, since no more people have the problem on the 1.2.
I guess it is better you add the helpers for now.
