My API uses the gem shrine to effect many different types of uploads. Unfortunately during development the files are accumulating in the public/uploads folder every time I db:drop of the database and re-runs.
My Factory Girl injects these files through fixtures.
Can every time you run the db:drop command, delete all files in the public/uploads folder?
The solution is simple, create a task called cleanup with method uploads :
rails g task cleanup uploads
Now add the code below to this task:
namespace :cleanup do
desc 'Removes all Shrine uploads'
task uploads: :environment do
FileUtils.rm_rf Dir.glob("#{Rails.root}/public/uploads/*")
end
end
Rake::Task['db:drop'].enhance do
Rake::Task['cleanup:uploads'].invoke
end
Whenever calling the command db:drop will be invoked then cleanup:uploads .
I hope it helps other developers, this is very useful!
