## # Goes through all attachments looking for ones whose 'file' column, which is the new column # used by the carrierwave-based attachments, is not set. # # For every one of those attachments the migration then sets the 'file' column to # whatever the value of the legacy column 'filename' is. If that one is empty too # it falls back to the 'disk_filename' column. This one was not meant to be displayed # to users but it's better than nothing, especially when trying to identify corrupt attachments. # # If *that* column is empty too, the attachment is broken beyond repair and will be dropped. # # Note: Just because the 'file' column is restored doesn't mean the actual file exists. # Rather the 'file' column being empty means precisely that the file is missing. # By still writing the filename into the file column the attachment can at least # be displayed, if not downloaded. # # Important: The migration is irreversible. class PatchCorruptAttachments < ActiveRecord::Migration def up Attachment.all.each do |attachment| patch_attachment attachment end end def down puts "Won't revert this migration as it would mean breaking valid attachments. \ We could break the attachments with missing files again by deleting their file column to restore the state before the migration.
