#401Images vanishing

[magpieuk]

Summary

Fixes #401

Images disappear when running in production mode with caching enabled.

This solution doesn't work for other active storage backends. It only fixes it for local, which you probably shouldn't be using.

[jarednorman]

I was mistaken. According to the docs this solution is supposed to generate a permanent URL. I'm curious as to how that would work backends like S3, but this seems like right approach.

@jarednorman we are installing the first prod similar env this week and can try it before anybody merges this.

[fthobe]

@magpieuk is this a permanent setup for you or will you add any external media hosting in production like S3?

[fthobe]

@magpieuk i will test it today. Can you tell me more about the environment that produced the problems?

[boomer196]

This won't work if you have Solidus image_attachment_module configured to use Spree::Image::PaperclipAttachment. There is no variant method defined on that class.

[fthobe]

I am not sure if paperclip is still supported. I think that's something to be asked on slack and to be aligned on docs afterwards.

[jarednorman]

Paperclip is still supported.
