(Rails 5) cl_image_tag error

Hello!

On my rails app/view, when I'm running :

<%= cl_image_tag("gmp3zbi3syluyslnobox.jpg") %>

it return:

undefined method `cl_image_tag' for #<#<Class:0x00007f8dc9a3a6c0>:0x00007f8dca1998d0>

I think the gem setup is ok, I can't find what's going wrong.
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Laure,

'cl_image_tag' is part of `CloudinaryHelper` module, which needs to be included in your project.

If it is included and you still see the issue, it would be great if you could share more details (feel free to open a support if you want to keep the data private).

Hello Roee, thank you very much for your response. What is the specific helpers’s configuration? I have followed the installation steps in Cloudinary's documentation (Adding gem + Api key in yml). With these same steps only, cl_image_tag was working fine in another app, a week ago, that's why I'm confused. Thank you again.

Hi Laure.

If you're using our ruby GEM, then the initialization of CloudinaryHelper is done on this line:

https://github.com/cloudinary/cloudinary_gem/blob/d36c508af2b1b3ecea8b4d08a9d1d1813a5c23fc/lib/cloudinary/railtie.rb#L6

You can also add it separately to projects using:
```
include CloudinaryHelper
```

Hi,

I did use your ruby Gem, but I'm still getting
```
undefined method `cl_image_tag'
```
Thanks again.

Hi Roee,

Yes, after I started using Carrierwave, it all started working out.

Thanks for the support.

Best.

Same problem :(
Included CloudinaryHelper and it is still undefined inside the controller.

Hey Roee,

Thanks for your answer. For sure, below is my controller code, where I try to access my img path through cl_image_path:

class Api::V1::ShowsController < ApplicationController
include CloudinaryHelper
[...]
def create
    @show = Show.new(show_params)
    authorize @show
    if @show.save && @show.persisted?
      @show.upload_img(params[:photo])
      path = CloudinaryHelper.cl_image_path(@show.photo.key)
      render json: {
        entity: @show.as_json(methods: :num_of_favorites),
        status: 201
      }, status: :created
    else
      render json: { status: 422, errors: @show.errors.full_messages },
             status: :unprocessable_entity
    end
  end
[...]
end

My server logs:

Cloudinary Storage (1648.7ms) Uploaded file to key: 373vw55ta1gynwjn1yl462rsiqkn (checksum: Byt0IPZjjNDxlUfAiBg+iQ==)

The image upload is successful, but I can't access the image path in my controller, in order that I can pass it to my React front-end :(

Best regards,
Gabriel

Hmm that's odd, I was able to get it to work for me but maybe it can be the version of Ruby and Rails that is being used? What are your versions?
Also, if you open the rails console, and try

include CloudinaryHelper
CloudinaryHelper.cl_image_path("image/upload/sample.jpg")

Does it return you the same error?
