Oh that's a strange error. I can't seem to reproduce it, but I think it might be something with the profile_image_url we're using. It's currently randomly generated by a gem, but feel free to replace it with any other valid image. The only non-standard validation we have for images is that its dimensions have to be less than or equal to 4096x4096.
You can replace line #31 in the seeds.rb file with any URL you'd like:
# current versionremote_profile_image_url: Faker::Avatar.image(nil,"300x300","png","set2","bg2")# change to anything, like your own dev.to profile pic:remote_profile_image_url: "https://thepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/user/profile_image/104515/87d99338-e340-4642-8393-e3731deb5b97.jpg"# or use random Bill Murray images with 400x400 size:remote_profile_image_url: Faker::Fillmurray.image(false,400,400)
Yes that was it, I've now been able to get running using my own profile pic. As happy as I am that it's working now am quite sad I've not been able to use the Bill Murray Faker... 😂
For info I was getting a 'redirect' error
ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid: Validation failed: Profile avatar could not download file: redirection forbidden:
...which seemed like it was expecting https in the url, but I couldn't find an easy way to resolve this.
But all good with a non-Faker url for the profile image 👍
