image_tag not showing paperclip uploaded image

Question

Hi i'm using paperclip to upload and save the company avatar on my app. This is how it looks on company model:

has_attached_file :avatar, :styles => { :medium => "300x300>", :thumb => "100x100>" }, :default_url => "/images/missing.png"
validates_attachment_content_type :avatar, :content_type => /\Aimage\/.*\Z/

I'm also using an initializer, paperclip.rb:

Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:storage] = :fog
Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:fog_credentials] = {:provider => "Local", :local_root => "#{Rails.root}/public"}
Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:fog_directory] = ""
Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:fog_host] = "http://localhost:3000"

Images are saved correctly, but when i try to display them like this:

<%= image_tag @company.avatar.url(:thumb) %>

It only shows the name of the file and no image.

The html looks like this:

<img alt="Mini cooper" src="http://localhost:3000/companies/avatars/000/000/003/thumb/mini-cooper.jpg%3F1416616058">

And if i take out the characters after .jpg like the following:

http://localhost:3000/companies/avatars/000/000/003/thumb/mini-cooper.jpg

I see the image just fine. But the helper just builds the url with those extra characters. Any ideas?

hi! same problem after update rails admin and paperclip. previous project with same gem list(but older gem version) work fine and opened correctly,with this charaters — kpblc

Looks like your issue is related to a recent commit which doesn't properly escape the timestamp. A temporary workaround is to disable the timestamp while a fix is worked-out.

For individual calls

@company.avatar.url(:thumb, timestamp:false)

Or you can disable this globally but putting the following line within your config/initializers/paperclip.rb file.

Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:use_timestamp] = false
