Tiny hack to convert StringIO objects into Tempfile when using OpenURI to open files less than 10kb. Inspired by this Stackoverflow answer.
When using OpenURI to #open a file that is less than 10kb will return a StringIO but in the case when we need to know the #path of the file StringIO won't work.
Use this Gem's #forced_file_from_url to write the StringIO data to a Tempfile and get the object you expected from OpenURI.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'forced_file_from_url'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install forced_file_from_url
Include ForcedFileFromUrl
in your code and use forced_file_from_url(url)
. This method will always return a Tempfile.
