Rails Carrierwave: unable to save full url with after_action method

Question

I want to save the full url of my uploaded images in a rails app using the CarrierWave gem. I update the entry just after the create action but it does not work. However, when I puts my variable, the full url appears but it only saves the identifier...

The Card controller, after_action method:

class CardsController < ApplicationController
  before_action :set_card, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
  after_action :save_full_image_url, only: [:create, :update]

  include Shortener
  require 'carrierwave/orm/activerecord'

  def save_full_image_url
    c = @card
    puts "URL: "+c.image_url.url

    @card.update(image_url: c.image_url.url)

    Rails.logger.info(@card.errors.inspect)
  end

My Card model:

class Card < ApplicationRecord
  validates :cta_button_url, :format => URI::regexp(%w(http https)), presence: { message: '%{value} : please enter valid url' }
  validates :title, :subtitle, :cta_button_text, :cta_button_url, :presence => true
  mount_uploader :image_url, ImageUploader
  has_one :short_url
end

My full logs:

When I log in the console "c.image_url.url" I get the full URL (http://localhost:3000/uploads/card/image_url/44/10298593.jpg) but when I update my entry, it only saves the end (10298593.jpg).

Any idea why I am not able to save the entire url even if I can get it in a variable before?

I don't get any error, but instead of ["image_url", "10298593.jpg"] it should be ["image_url", "http:// localhost:3000/uploads/card/image_url/44/10298593.jpg"] — nico_lrx

Problem solved! The issue was from the mount_uploader :image_url, ImageUploader

I created a "remote_image_url" and updated it with the full url. Now it works!
