Carrierwave multiple image upload file_field is not enabling selection of multiple images in rails

Question

I am having problems enabling selection of multiple images in implementing Carrierwave multiple images. When I click on the upload button in the new view, I just get the file selection window for a single file and can only select a single file.

In the input form, I have:

<%= simple_form_for @car do |f| %>
...
 <%= f.file_field :pictures, multiple: true %>
...

In the Car model, I have:

mount_uploader :pictures, PictureUploader 
serialize :pictures, JSON 

In the cars controller, I have:

params.require(:car).permit(:name, :make, :year, :color, :seats, 
:location, :transmission, :price, :photo, :photo_cache, {pictures: []})

I have a pictures column in the Cars table. I have include cloudinary::Carrierwave in PictureUploader.

Is there anything I'm missing?

At this time multiple image uploads are not supported with Cloudinary’s GEM and Carrierwave integration. However it is on Cloudinary’s road map of implementations. As a workaround for the time being feel free to reference this sample project for multiple uploads using Cloudinary’s GEM and Carrierwave: https://github.com/taragano/Cloudinary_multiple_uploads
