Image not loading after upload

[jeshocarmel]

Hi Keichan,

I just downloaded your sample application phoenix_exfile_test_app and used mariaex instead of postgres. I'm unable to view the uploaded image. I haven't changed any code apart from the mariaex configuration in mix.exs. The file has been uploaded into the tmp folder though.

Invalid Parameter - /phoenix_exfile_test_app-master

Can you paste the error message that the server is reporting here?

FYI, my development environment is windows

[keichan34]

Hm. Could be a windows compatibility problem. I'll investigate a bit more and get back to you.

[jeshocarmel]

okay . noted

[noma4i]

Probably Iv found culprit. Path.exand in windows should expand using \ but joining remain root_path looks incorrect. So resulting path is /some_where\here\one_more_level

That's it. Btw running even Dev env for elixir on windows is a pure suicide. Consider using windows 10 ubuntu bash. Nice blogpost at Microsoft

[keichan34]

I see. Thanks for figuring out what the problem was. I found this issue in elixir elixir-lang/elixir#1236 that's similar -- it says that Erlang will automatically translate / to \ when running in Windows, but maybe that doesn't work if the path separators are all mixed up?

Anyways, thanks for your help! I'll be closing this issue for now, but I eventually want to get it working, so I will leave the original issue on keichan34/exfile#37 open until it's fixed.

[jeshocarmel]

thanks @keichan34 . awesome
