Files don't get stored to a custom namespace

[abhas]

I tried creating a custom namespace as follows:

image = GridFs.namespace(:image)
f = image.put("photo.png")

So f returns a GridFS::Image::File object the way I would expect. Now, when I go back to the mongo shell, I see that there are two new collections: image.chunks and image.files. However the file I uploaded is missing.

Is there anything else that I need to do to get the file to be stored in this custom namespace?

@abhas, Is this still a problem? If so, would you mind putting together a failing test case that exposes the problem?

Hi Ryan, honestly I've not checked recently. I went back to using Mongoid 2.5.x and the corresponding grid_fs gem. Let me try this out again and if I face the same problem again.

@abhas Any time to follow-up on this?

[abhas]

Sorry for the delay in following up. I am still not able to get custom namespaces to work. Is there something that I could be doing wrong here?

@abhas Hi. Sorry, I haven't played with the custom namespacing; I haven't had a need for it yet.

If there is an underlying issue, what would really help is a pull-request with at least a failing test case that we can use to try and work off of.

@abhas Try this:

mongoid_grid_fs:001:0> image = Mongoid::GridFs.build_namespace_for(:image)
=> Mongoid::GridFs::Image
mongoid_grid_fs:002:0> image.put("image.jpg")
=> #<Mongoid::GridFs::Image::File _id: 53429609c2e4dc40bd000001, length: 435881, chunkSize: 4194304, uploadDate: 2014-04-07 12:11:53 UTC, md5: "c5c8e136036276acbf6934b740b92eef", filename: "53429609c2e4dc40bd000001/image.jpg", contentType: "image/jpeg", aliases: nil>
mongoid_grid_fs:003:0> image.find("53429609c2e4dc40bd000001/image.jpg")
=> #<Mongoid::GridFs::Image::File _id: 53429609c2e4dc40bd000001, length: 435881, chunkSize: 4194304, uploadDate: 2014-04-07 12:11:53 UTC, md5: "c5c8e136036276acbf6934b740b92eef", filename: "53429609c2e4dc40bd000001/image.jpg", contentType: "image/jpeg", aliases: nil>

@abhas there is an example in the tests -> https://github.com/ahoward/mongoid-grid_fs/blob/master/test/mongoid-grid_fs_test.rb#L201
