I must use RightAWS for certain things. However, I can only get Paperclip uploads

  • 0

I must use RightAWS for certain things. However, I can only get Paperclip uploads to S3 working when RightAWS is nowhere in my Gemfile. Since v2.3.11, Paperclip has used AWS-S3, switching from RightAWS.

RightAWS allows me to check the existence of an object without downloading the entire object via the head? method. It also allows me to stream massive amounts of files from a bucket in 1,000 unit chunks with its incrementally_list_bucket method. I haven’t found a way to duplicate this functionality in AWS-S3. I do not have the time currently to implement this and contribute it either.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to load both of these AWS gems in a Rails 3 project without causing Paperclip to cause the “wrong number of arguments (4 for 5) error?

    Ta dahhh. Changing my Gemfile from:

    gem 'aws-s3'

    to:

    gem 'aws-s3', :require => 'aws/s3'

    fixed the problem!
