Rails renders 404 page when linking to PDF file - html

Question

The problem
I have this search function on my website, it works but for Meetings, and only Meetings, it doesn't. When I try to link to the pdf file that Meeting contains using asset_path I get the 404 page.
This is my Meeting model
class Admin::Meeting < ApplicationRecord
# Image/File Uploader
mount_uploader :agenda, FileUploader
mount_uploader :minutes, FileUploader
has_many :meeting_translations, dependent: :destroy
accepts_nested_attributes_for :meeting_translations
end
My file uploader looks like this, I use CarrierWave
class FileUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
# Include RMagick or MiniMagick support:
# require 'RMagick'
# include CarrierWave::RMagick
# include CarrierWave::MiniMagick
# before :cache, :setup_available_sizes
# before :cache
# Choose what kind of storage to use for this uploader:
storage :file
permissions 0777
# storage :fog
# Override the directory where uploaded files will be stored.
# This is a sensible default for uploaders that are meant to be mounted:
def store_dir
"uploads/#{model.class.name.demodulize.to_s.underscore}/#{mounted_as}/#{model.id}"
end
# Provide a default URL as a default if there hasn't been a file uploaded:
# def default_url(*args)
# # For Rails 3.1+ asset pipeline compatibility:
# # ActionController::Base.helpers.asset_path("fallback/" + [version_name, "default.png"].compact.join('_'))
#
# "/images/fallback/" + [version_name, "default.png"].compact.join('_')
# end
# Process files as they are uploaded:
# process scale: [200, 300]
#
# def scale(width, height)
# # do something
# end
# Create different versions of your uploaded files:
# version :thumb do
# process resize_to_fit: [200, 200]
# end
# Add a white list of extensions which are allowed to be uploaded.
# For images you might use something like this:
def extension_whitelist
%w(pdf doc docx xls xlsx)
end
def size_range
1..10.megabytes
end
end
This is my view where I try to link to agenda (agenda is a file)
<% #meeting_results.each do |result| %>
<% unless result.agenda.nil? %>
<div class="col-sm-12">
<div class="col-sm-1"><i class="far fa-file-pdf fa-2x" aria-hidden="true"></i></div>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<div class="results-link">
<%= result.agenda.file.original_filename %>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>
<% end %>
This is the error I get
404_error
I usually don't have this problem when I link to PDFs, I don't know if it's because I also have another file called minutes for Meeting? Anyways, any help is appreciated, thanks.
Edit
I also noticed that the path returned from asset_path does not contain the Meetings ID. This is the path it gives meuploads/meeting/agenda/Bathurst_Regular_Public_Meeting_Agenda_May_15-2017.pdf when the file is really located in uploads/meeting/agenda/ID/Bathurst_Regular_Public_Meeting_Agenda_May_15-2017.pdf

Answer 1

I feel like a complete idiot, my query for finding the Meeting's that matched my search term was wrong.
What I had
#meeting_results = Admin::Meeting.select(:agenda).where("meetings.agenda LIKE ? OR meetings.minutes LIKE ?", "%#{query}%", "%#{query}%").distinct
What I replaced it with
#meeting_results = Admin::Meeting.where("meetings.agenda LIKE ? OR meetings.minutes LIKE ?", "%#{query}%", "%#{query}%").distinct
I had the wrong query due to a change I had made and decided not to go with it. Hope this maybe helps someone some day :(
