I have a blob column in a table that I know represents pdf documents. I am attempting to write a migration that rips out the pdf documents from that blob field, and saves the actual pdf documents within public/assets. I am using paperclip for attachments.
Here is the error I am getting:
StandardError: An error has occurred, all later migrations canceled: "\xC4" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8
Here is my script:
class AddSomeAttachments < ActiveRecord::Migration
def up
SomeModel.all.each do |something|
if something.data.present?
FileUtils.mkdir_p(Rails.root.join('public', 'assets', 'some_models', 'attachment1', "#{something.id}" ))
end
end
SomeModel.all.each do |something|
if something.data.present?
File.open(Rails.root.join('public', 'assets', 'some_models', 'attachment1', "#{something.id}", "#{something.attachment1_file_name}"), "w+") do |file|
file << something.data
end
end
end
end
def down
raise "do not migrate down"
end
end
I did look at this stack overflow question which asked about the same error message. I did attempt adding encoding: UTF-8 at the top of the file but that did not do anything.
