I am using spreadsheet gem to generate .xls file. After writing it to a file, I am trying to send to client browser for download.
Below is the code in rails
workbook = Spreadsheet::Workbook.new
# Constructed the data
file = "/path/to/file/sheet.xls"
workbook.write file
send_file file
This file when opened contains expected data in ideal format.
Below is the code in js:
CustomRestService.custom_post("report",{report_data: angular.toJson($scope.report_data)},"download_xls",{}).then (data)->
if data
hiddenElement = document.createElement('a')
angular.element(document.body).append(hiddenElement)
hiddenElement.href = 'data:attachment/xls,' + encodeURI(data)
hiddenElement.target = '_blank'
hiddenElement.download = "report.xls"
hiddenElement.click()
hiddenElement.remove()
But the file getting downloaded in browser contains junk data. I tried multiple solutions like below:
Using send_data, instead of send_file
Generated xls data and wrote to StringIO object to directly download
Constructed Blob object in js, with type as "application/vnd.ms-excel" and trying to download it.
All attempts failed, as I am missing something. All suggestions are welcome.
filename = "/path/to/file/sheet.xls"
tempfile = Tempfile.new(filename)
workbook = Spreadsheet::Workbook.new
...
workbook.write(tempfile.path)
send_file tempfile.path, :filename => filename

I've been trying to manipulate a file that's base64 encoded that I'm recieving from my client.
I'm currently using https://github.com/zdavatz/spreadsheet/blob/master/GUIDE.md to manipulate it, however, there doesn't appear to be any way to open a file directly from the base64 blob, or should I write it and then read from it? can't that a potential security threat for the server?
for example, if I recieve a file :
file = params[:file] with contents:
data:application/vnd.ms-excel;base64,0M8R4KGxGuEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOwADAP7
(should I remove the data:application/vnd.ms-excel;base64, ?)
I'd like to open it with this:
Spreadsheet.client_encoding = 'UTF-8'
book = Spreadsheet.open "#{Rails.root}/app/assets/spreadsheet/event.xls"
(or with a blob or temp fle)
Sorry if it's pretty obvious, been looking for hours and there's not much info about it available, tried creating a temp file first but I don't think that's supported and there's not much I can get from the docs.
Shot in the dark: Maybe decode it, write to binary-enabled tempfile, and then feed that to Spreadsheet?
tmpfile = Tempfile.new.binmode
tmpfile << Base64.decode64(params[:file])
tmpfile.rewind
book = Spreadsheet.open(tmpfile)
I am using Libreconv gem to convert word to doc but it's not working with S3
bucket = Aws::S3::Bucket.new('bucket-name')
object = bucket.object file.attachment.blob.key
path = object.presigned_url(:get)
Libreconv.convert(path, "public/test.pdf")
If I try to convert this path to PDF using Libreconv then it's give me filename too long error. I have wrriten this code under ActiveJobs. So kindly provide me solutions as per ActiveJobs.
Can someone please suggest me how can I convert word file to pdf.
Here path is https://domain.s3.amazonaws.com/Bf5qPUP3znZGCHCcTWHcR5Nn?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAIZ6RZ7J425ORVUYQ%2F20181206%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20181206T051240Z&X-Amz-Expires=900&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=b89c47a324b2aa423bf64dfb343e3b3c90dce9b54fa9fe1bc4efa9c248e912f9
and error I am getting is
Error: source file could not be loaded
*** Errno::ENAMETOOLONG Exception: File name too long # rb_sysopen - /tmp/Bf5qPUP3znZGCHCcTWHcR5Nn?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAIZ6RZ7J425ORVUYQ%2F20181206%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20181206T051240Z&X-Amz-Expires=900&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=b89c47a324b2aa423bf64dfb343e3b3c90dce9b54fa9fe1bc4efa9c248e912f9.pd
It seems that you PDF is created with all the params needed to fetch docx from S3.
I suppose it happens in this line:
target_tmp_file = "#{target_path}/#{File.basename(#source, ".*")}.#{File.basename(#convert_to, ":*")}"
#source is https://domain.s3.amazonaws.com/Bf5qPUP3znZGCHCcTWHcR5Nn?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAIZ6RZ7J425ORVUYQ%2F20181206%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20181206T051240Z&X-Amz-Expires=900&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=b89c47a324b2aa423bf64dfb343e3b3c90dce9b54fa9fe1bc4efa9c248e912f9 and
> File.basename(#source, ".*")
=> "Bf5qPUP3znZGCHCcTWHcR5Nn?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAIZ6RZ7J425ORVUYQ%2F20181206%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20181206T051240Z&X-Amz-Expires=900&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=b89c47a324b2aa423bf64dfb343e3b3c90dce9b54fa9fe1bc4efa9c248e912f9"
As a result Libreconv gem tries to create a tmp file with this long name and it's too long - that's why an error is raised.
Possible solution: split the process into separate steps of fetching file and converting it. Something like:
require "open-uri"
bucket = Aws::S3::Bucket.new('bucket-name')
object = bucket.object file.attachment.blob.key
path = object.presigned_url(:get)
doc_file = open(path)
begin
Libreconv.convert(doc_file.path, "public/test.pdf")
ensure
doc_file.delete
end
following is the answer using combine pdf gem
tape = Tape.new(file)
result = tape.preview
tempfile = Tempfile.new(['foo', '.pdf'])
File.open(tempfile, 'wb') do |f|
f.write result
end
path = tempfile.path
combine_pdf(path)
and for load file for S3 I have used
object = #bucket.object object_key
path = object.presigned_url(:get)
response = Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse(path)).body
I think I am missing something simple. Using combine_pdf: I am attempting to combine two pdf files into one pdf, and then send that resulting pdf with send_data in my rails app.
Here is my code in a controller:
pdf = CombinePDF.new
# returns an array, each element is a string of an absolute path
# to the file I want to upload
absolute_upload_paths = #obj.attachments.collect {|obj| obj.my_attachment.path}
absolute_upload_paths.each {|upload_path| pdf << CombinePDF.load(upload_path)}
send_data pdf, filename: “my_combined_pdf”, type: "application/pdf"
What results is that a damaged pdf file gets sent which cannot be opened:
Adobe Acrobat Reader could not open 'VR_Voc_Eval-51.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
What am I missing? How can I use this gem to combine two existing pdf files into one pdf and then send it to the user?
It looks like the README for that library calls .to_pdf when sending the data. Hopefully calling #to_pdf on the pdf object like in the example will fix your issue.
send_data pdf.to_pdf, filename: “my_combined_pdf”, type: "application/pdf"

I have a custom file type (.map) that I am unzipping from a Gzip file and then writing to a new file in order to pass it along to Paperclip and upload to s3. My problem is that the type should be an xml, while it is saving as a text document instead with all xml formatting correct. I need a way to convert it into the xml type and then save that as a new File object before passing it along.
Here is my code so far:
Zlib::GzipReader.open(f.tempfile) do |gz|
puts gz.orig_name
#tmp = File.new(gz.orig_name, "w+")
while chunk = gz.read(16*1024) do
#tmp.write(chunk)
end
end
reader = #tmp.read
s = location.posts.create!(
subject: #email.subject,
from: #email.from[:email],
mapfile: #tmp)
}
ideally i will be passing mapfile the xml type file, but right now it seems to be text
Update:
So now I have set my post.rb to do this, and added a name attribute to post containing the original file name:
has_attached_file :mapfile,
:preserve_files => "true",
:path =>
':rails_root/non-public/system/:id/:basename.:extension',
:url => '/:class/:id/mapfiles',
:s3_headers => lambda { |attachment| {'Content-Disposition' => "attachment; filename = #{attachment.name}"}}
And this works perfectly!
It sounds like you are talking about `Content-Type'. When you save a file to the filesystem, you can't set this: the system will decide what to use based on the file extension and possibly by analysing the contents, if it's a text file.
However, you can set the content type when you serve a file to someone's browser, and when you upload it to S3. See here for the latter Setting the Content-Type in direct to S3 upload using Rails and jQuery File Upload
I'm trying to write a custom django backend that writes the contents of an uploaded file to an output file while also saving the file as it normally would. I assumed I could do this by overriding the _open function of Django, but no luck. Anyone know how to accomplish this? Here's what I've been messing around with
from django.core.files.storage import FileSystemStorage
class TestStore(FileSystemStorage):
def _open(self, name, mode='rb'):
data = open(name, 'rb')
dataRead = data.read()
filename = '/home/somewhere/testdir/output.txt'
FILE = open(filename, 'w')
FILE.write(dataRead)
FILE.close()
data.close()
return name
If you already created the file you can just output it with content-disposition:
response = HttpResponse(data, content_type='text/txt')
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=filename'
