ruby on rails - Shrine::Error (storage :store isn't registered on ImageUploader)

Question

The subject says it all.

I’m using shrine with a photos model.

When I upload file, the create action throws this error

Shrine::Error (storage :store isn't registered on ImageUploader)

I looked it up and everyone is saying to change the name of the shrine.rb to something like 01_shrine.rb so that it loads earlier.

This did not work for me. I have an image_uploader.rb in my models folder and a shrine.rb in config / initializers.

The weird thing is that after rails throws an error, when I navigate to photos route, the photo did in fact upload.

The problem might be with your old records. As i suspect, by default config was something like:

Shrine.storages = {
  cache: Shrine::Storage::FileSystem.new("public", prefix: "uploads/cache"), # temporary
  store: Shrine::Storage::FileSystem.new("public", prefix: "uploads"),       # permanent
}

Then you uploaded file for test purposes and renamed initial "store" store

Shrine.storages = {
  new_cache: Shrine::Storage::FileSystem.new("public", prefix: "uploads/cache"), # temporary
  **new_store**: Shrine::Storage::FileSystem.new("public", prefix: "uploads"),       # permanent
}

Shrine tries to find the old "store" in your existing record and throws error
