undefined method `execute_prepared' Rails Paperclip to ActiveStorage migration

Question

I'm trying to convert a Rails app over from using Paperclip to ActiveStorage and I'm running into an issue with the ConvertToActiveStorage migration script provided in the migration guide. https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip/blob/master/MIGRATING.md#copy-the-database-data-over

Below is the error I get while trying to run the Paperclip to ActiveStorage migration. I'm not sure what the issue is with ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute_prepared

the path to where Paperclip is currently saving the users uploaded files is /web/non-public/system/articles/documents/000/000/ and ActiveStorage is supposed to save them to a new location at /web/storage after the migration.

I faced the same issue when running the migration. I had to change the two execute_prepared statements to use exec_prepared instead:

ActiveRecord::Base.connection.raw_connection.exec_prepared(
    'active_storage_blob_statement', [
        ...
])

ActiveRecord::Base.connection.raw_connection.exec_prepared(
    'active_storage_attachment_statement', [
        ...
])

I don't quite remember why, but I also had to pass the ID of the last blob record inserted to the attachment insert statement. You can skip this if you don't need this:

active_storage_attachment_statement = ActiveRecord::Base.connection.raw_connection.prepare('active_storage_attachment_statement', <<-SQL)
  INSERT INTO active_storage_attachments (
    name, record_type, record_id, blob_id, created_at
  ) VALUES ($1, $2, $3, #{"(SELECT max(id) from active_storage_blobs)"}, $4)
SQL

Here is my complete migration.

changing ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute_prepared to ActiveRecord::Base.connection.raw_connection.exec_prepared got the migration to work. thanks! – Potentiate
