class Rack::Multipart::UploadedFile

Despite the misleading name, UploadedFile is designed for use for preparing multipart file upload bodies, generally for use in tests. It is not designed for and should not be used for handling uploaded files (there is no need for that, since Rack’s multipart parser already creates Tempfiles for that). Using this with non-trusted filenames can create a security vulnerability.

You should only use this class if you plan on passing the instances to Rack::MockRequest for use in creating multipart request bodies.

UploadedFile delegates most methods to the tempfile it contains.

Attributes

content_type [RW]

The content type of the instance.

original_filename [R]

The provided name of the file. This generally is the basename of path provided during initialization, but it can contain slashes if they were present in the filename argument when the instance was created.

Public Class Methods

new (filepath = nil, ct = "text/plain", bin = false, path: filepath, content_type: ct, binary: bin, filename: nil, io: nil)

Source

# File lib/rack/multipart/uploaded_file.rb, line 49
def initialize(filepath = nil, ct = "text/plain", bin = false,
               path: filepath, content_type: ct, binary: bin, filename: nil, io: nil)
  if io
    @tempfile = io
    @original_filename = filename
  else
    raise "#{path} file does not exist" unless ::File.exist?(path)
    @original_filename = filename || ::File.basename(path)
    @tempfile = Tempfile.new([@original_filename, ::File.extname(path)], encoding: Encoding::BINARY)
    @tempfile.binmode if binary
    FileUtils.copy_file(path, @tempfile.path)
  end
  @content_type = content_type
end

Create a new UploadedFile. For backwards compatibility, this accepts both positional and keyword versions of the same arguments:

filepath/path: The path to the file
ct/content_type: The content_type of the file
bin/binary: Whether to set binmode on the file before copying data into it.

If both positional and keyword arguments are present, the keyword arguments take precedence.

The following keyword-only arguments are also accepted:

filename: Override the filename to use for the file. This is so the filename for the upload does not need to match the basename of the file path. This should not contain slashes, unless you are trying to test how an application handles invalid filenames in multipart upload bodies.
io: Use the given IO-like instance as the tempfile, instead of creating a Tempfile instance. This is useful for building multipart file upload bodies without a file being present on the filesystem. If you are providing this, you should also provide the filename argument.

Public Instance Methods

local_path ()

Alias for: path

path ()

Source

# File lib/rack/multipart/uploaded_file.rb, line 66
def path
  @tempfile.path if @tempfile.respond_to?(:path)
end

The path of the tempfile for the instance, if the tempfile has a path. nil if the tempfile does not have a path.

Also aliased as: local_path

respond_to_missing? (*args)

Source

# File lib/rack/multipart/uploaded_file.rb, line 72
def respond_to_missing?(*args)
  @tempfile.respond_to?(*args)
end

Return true if the tempfile responds to the method.
