use attachment attribute attachments['file-name.pdf'] = File.read('file-name.pdf').

def welcome(user)
  attachments['file-name.pdf'] = File.read('path/to/file-name.pdf')
  mail(:to => user, :subject => "Welcome!")
end

refer this (2.3) : http://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_mailer_basics.html

Modify your code to this:

def send_help_enterprise
  p '-----------------'
  p params
  Mailer.help_enterprise_issue(params[:app], params[:version], params[:name], params[:description][:text], params[:file])
  respond_to do |format|
    format.js {
      render :layout => false
    }
  end
end

in your mailer

def help_enterprise_issue(app,version,name,description,file)
  @app = app
  @version = version
  @name = name
  @description = description
  @email = 'test@gmail.com'
  attachments['attachment.extension'] = file
  mail :to => @email,
       :subject => I18n.t('mailer.info.help_enterprise_issue')
end

Thisshould work

Based on http://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_mailer_basics.html, you have to add attachments['file-name.jpg'] = File.read('file-name.jpg'). So, you can put in this method.

def help_enterprise_issue(app,version,name,description)
  attachments['file-name.jpg'] = File.read('file-name.jpg')
  @app = app
  @version = version
  @name = name
  @description = description
  @email = 'test@gmail.com'
  mail :to => @email,
     :subject => I18n.t('mailer.info.help_enterprise_issue')
end

I hope it can help you.
