Displaying a Carrierwave filename in the view

Question

I am trying to display the filename of a Carrierwave attachment in a Rails erb template. The following does not work:

<%= @page.form.filename %>
         


        

Answer 1

I'm assuming you've got models like this?

class Page
  mount_uploader :form, FormUploader
end

If so you should be able to call:

@page.form.url
@page.form.filename

Are you sure you've uploaded/attached the file correctly? What do you see when you inspect @page.form? Remember, the attachment will not be saved until you've fully processed the upload.
