I’m trying to use waffle to handle the upload with LiveView uploads and receive the following error: [error] {:error, :invalid_file_path}.
I’m building a %Plug.Upload{content_type: content_type, filename: filename, path: path} struct which is then sent over as the “image” attribute to my schema that has my Waffle uploader type for field image. But in the cast_attachments function it returns the error changeset:
#Ecto.Changeset<
action: nil,
changes: %{title: "foo"},
errors: [
image: {"is invalid",
[type: MyAppWeb.Uploaders.PostImage.Type, validation: :cast]}
],
data: #MyApp.Blog.Post<>,
valid?: false
>
The attributes being passed to the schema changeset are:
%{
"title" => "foo",
"image" => %Plug.Upload{
content_type: "image/png",
filename: "blog-title.png",
path: "/var/folders/mt/9c2zqzy93tg5xfl7317j7m340000gn/T//plug-1619/live_view_upload-1619366353-634670199203471-4"
}
}
I have tried without the LiveView and it works, but only difference I can see is in the path set on the upload.

Liveview already has a dedicated file upload section with the necessary methods, js functions.
Is there a specific reason you don’t want to use those and replicate the work with waffle integration?

Sorry I was away from the computer. I have tried this now still with no luck. I did compare the contents of the
%Plug.Upload{}without LiveView:This does work without live view. And changing the path to filename did not work. I will try the copy to a tmp file and then use that in the
%Plug.Upload{}. I am still not sure why this does not work.
