Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - local.path

[jwoertink]

I came across a weird error which at first I thought might be the multipart-post gem, but now I'm not so sure.

socketry/multipart-post#23

When I make a Faraday::UploadIO object, it sets my local_path to "local.path"

{:user=>{:avatar=>#<UploadIO:0x007fd2cf69cb08 @content_type="image/jpeg", @original_filename="local.path", @local_path="local.path", @io=#<Pathname:/Users/jeremy/Sites/tabeso/spec/fixtures/images/sample.jpg>, @opts={}>}}

When the multipart-post gem calls File.size, it throws the error. Is there something I should look for?

This is where multipart-post sets it: https://github.com/nicksieger/multipart-post/blob/master/lib/composite_io.rb#L80-L82

So, it looks like your io object doesn't respond to #path. How should Faraday handle that better? I wonder if we can replace File.size with just #size?

[jwoertink]

hmm. I'm not sure. It was suggested to me to use Faraday::UploadIO.new(File.open('sample.jpg'), 'image/jpeg') but that just throws the error redundant UTF-8 sequence.

I was looking into the multipart-post gem, apparently they recognised the problem and fixed it (https://github.com/nicksieger/multipart-post/blob/master/lib/composite_io.rb#L80-L82), you guys think that Faraday should worry about it yet?
In case this is not a problem anymore, I was thinking if we can close the issue.

@ricardovaleriano That was added 3 years ago in socketry/multipart-post@abb5450 and was since then released.

@jwoertink Your problem might be because you passed a Pathname for the upload IO object.

I don't think we have a bug in Faraday here. I would love to see a reproducible failure. Until then, it's just wrong usage (which encoding problems are also a part of).

If someone wants to contribute docs for how to do file uploads with Faraday, the wiki is a good place to do that.
