File attachments in Rails app not working
I've got a Rails 7 app that's using ActiveStorage to upload files to S3.
This works fine locally (still uploading to S3), but error's out in production on Railway.
I'm not able to get good logs from Railway (doesn't seem to be a logger built in other than deploys) and the only error I get from the app is:
Not sure what else to do here. Wondering if it's got something to do with how Railway handles the temp file before sending to S3? But really...no actual idea here.
