Paperclip file size validation error message

Question

validates_attachment_size :image, :less_than => 5.megabytes

gives an error message of

Image file size must be less than 5242880 Bytes

This isn't very user friendly.. Is there a way to make the message to be

Image file size must be less than 5 MB 

? without setting a custom message on my own

Answer 1

Nope. You need to set a custom message to get that format. You can see from the paperclip source that they convert the size to an integer number of bytes in human_size.
