Images lost after pushing to Heroku

[thedarkginger]

I've starting using Lines, and it works very well locally. Unfortunately, after I push my app to Heroku, I am noticing that uploaded images in the LinesPicture table initially work until I push a second subsequent branch to Heroku (so basically, it seems like any new push resets the asset pipeline and messes things up).

In my production.rb file, I have made some updates including:

  # Disable serving static files from the `/public` folder by default since
  # Apache or NGINX already handles this.
  config.serve_static_files = true

  # Do not fallback to assets pipeline if a precompiled asset is missed.
  config.assets.compile = true

Additionally, based on Heroku's documentation, I made sure to have gem 'rails_12factor', group: :production installed as well.

The problem persists. I have run heroku run rails console and checked the LinesPicture table, and the photos remain in the table. Has anyone experienced / found a solution when deploying?

I have the same issue: the uploaded images are stores in public/uploads. I guess the right way would be to store them on AWS, not on the local drive. This gem needs to be changed accordingly.

Any plans from the main contributors?

Hi, I have the same problem. May I ask if you found a solution ? Thanks !

Set storage: :file to storage: :aws in _config/linesconfig.yml You may have to update your gem Verison to >=1.2.5

I set storage: :file to storage: :aws. Can't get it to work.
I get the error: Unknown storage: aws

@jfacoustic can you post your Gemfile?
