Rails 7.1: implementing ActiveStorage and variant processing in background jobs
I'm wondering if anyone has experience with I'm updating my dependencies and I'm working with a question with ActiveStorage when generating image variants in background jobs... I have a setup where users can upload images, and I want to create variants for thumbnails. While the variant generation works fine in the console, when I run it in a background job, I receive an behavior: `ActiveStorage::FileNotFoundError: The file does not exist`. Here’s the relevant code snippet from my background job: ```ruby class ImageVariantJob < ApplicationJob queue_as :default def perform(image) variant = image.variant(resize_to_fill: [100, 100]).processed # Save to some other model or process further end end ``` In my model, I have the following setup: ```ruby class User < ApplicationRecord has_one_attached :profile_image end ``` I enqueue the job like this: ```ruby ImageVariantJob.perform_later(user.profile_image) ``` The job fails with the `FileNotFoundError`, indicating that it want to find the file associated with the ActiveStorage attachment. I've confirmed that the image is successfully uploaded and accessible via the `profile_image` association. I've tried running the job with the `rails active_storage:service:local` configuration, expecting it to work since the files are stored locally, but the behavior continues. I've also looked into the `Rails.application.config.active_storage.service` configuration to ensure it's pointing to the right service. Is there something I might be missing regarding file accessibility in the background job context, or do I need to set up something differently for processing variants? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! I'm working on a web app that needs to handle this. Is there a better approach? My development environment is Linux. Hoping someone can shed some light on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
