Unknown format error for image/png when getting url for blob

Question

I am getting this error:

ActionController::UnknownFormat (ErrorPagesController#not_found is missing a template for this request format and variant.

request.formats: ["image/png"]
request.variant: []):

when I try to access the url of a blob. I have uploaded an image file (.png) to active storage, and I can see it in my database and on my local filesystem. 'product.image.attached?' returns true. However, when I try to access it (to display on my page), I get the above error.

I have tried:

= image_tag url_for(product.pic)
= image_tag url_for(Rails.application.routes.url_helpers.rails_blob_path(product.image, only_path: true))
= image_tag url_for(product.image.service_url)
= link_to 'download', rails_blob_path(product.image, disposition: "attachment")

def pic_url
  if self.pic.attached?
    # Rails.application.routes.url_helpers.rails_blob_url(self.image, only_path: true)
    ActiveStorage::Current.set(host: "localhost:3000") do
      self.pic.service_url
    end
  end
end

I get the url: http://localhost:3000/rails/active_storage/disk/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaDdDRG9JYTJWNVNTSWRiWGQ2VUhGWWVEZExaVFZ3VTFGeWVrZFRZVUpFUWtaeUJqb0dSVlE2RUdScGMzQnZjMmwwYVc5dVNTSmJhVzVzYVc1bE95Qm1hV3hsYm1GdFpUMGljM05qWDJ4dloyOWZkMmhwZEdWZmMyMWhiR3d1Y0c1bklqc2dabWxzWlc1aGJXVXFQVlZVUmkwNEp5ZHpjMk5mYkc5bmIxOTNhR2wwWlY5emJXRnNiQzV3Ym1jR093WkdPaEZqYjI1MFpXNTBYM1I1Y0dWSklnNXBiV0ZuWlM5d2JtY0dPd1pVIiwiZXhwIjoiMjAxOS0wOC0wMVQwNzoxMjo1NC41NDRaIiwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9rZXkifX0=--59b28fbf1b78f8d0e408040deb9f538473b6fd6f/ssc_logo_white_small.png?content_type=image%2Fpng&disposition=inline%3B+filename%3D%22ssc_logo_white_small.png%22%3B+filename%2A%3DUTF-8%27%27ssc_logo_white_small.png

which leads to the error.

If there is anything I'm missing, please let me know. Thanks

Edit: I get this in my logs:

No, I've tried service_url, I get a different error: Missing host to link to! Please provide the :host parameter, set default_url_options[:host], or set :only_path to true): — Justin

I've worked it out thanks to this answer. I just needed to change a line at the bottom of routes.rb to this:

get '*path', to: redirect('/'), constraints: lambda { |req|
  req.path.exclude? 'rails/active_storage'
}

or in my case it was

get '*a', to: redirect('/'), constraints: lambda { |req|
  req.path.exclude? 'rails/active_storage'
}
