paperclip doesn't show my custom message

Question

I have a Rails 4 app using Paperclip 4.3.2. I have the following specified in my model:

    validates_attachment_content_type :avatar, :content_type => /\Aimage\/.*\Z/, :message => "some message"

When I try to load a wrong file I hoped to find the message "some message" but I get the message:

Avatar translation missing: ca.activerecord.errors.models..attributes.avatar.spoofed_media_type

Any idea what's going wrong here?

Answer 1

validates_attachment :avatar,
  content_type: { content_type: /\Aimage\/.*\Z/, message: "Some Message" }

Good ref

To give you some context as to the Avatar translation missing error - this is typically caused by a lack of I18n translations...

# config/locales/[[lang]].yml
ca:
  activerecord:
    errors:
      models:
         attributes:
           spoofed_media_type: "Message"

This should give you some insight.

Finally, "spoofed media type" errors often mean you don't have the file (or equivalent) on your system. I can only speak from Windows experience; you need to set file up separately if you don't have DevKit installed.
