  • Speed up your tests that use Paperclip by putting the following in your spec_helper.rb. In a new project's test suite this alone reduced the full suite run time from 25 to 5 seconds.
class Paperclip::Attachment
  def post_process; end
end
  • If you want to run Spork to speed up your tests, but aren't running on a Ruby platform that supports Kernel.fork (like windows or JRuby) then Roger Pack's Spork fork might work for you.

    Thanks! That prevented convert from being run, but you can take it further and prevent identify from running as well:

    class Paperclip::Attachment
  def post_process; end
end

module Paperclip
  class << self
    def run(*args)
      "100x100"
    end
  end
end
