I’m using Texticle to do full-text search on Heroku. It’s working great.
I’m now trying to setup nightly db backups to Amazon s3 using this script.
When I try heroku rake backups:backup I first get this error:
/disk1/home/slugs/245176_566b3d9_4845/mnt/.bundle/gems/bundler/gems/texticle-3a96c70a9fa60921197f0027204a23824435b142-ee972fc2f8f84e6faf323a9a5580dca475ea98d9/lib/texticle.rb:52: warning: already initialized constant VERSION
From that point it goes ahead and runs the rest of the rake task:
backup started @ Fri Jul 30 02:30:00 -0700 2010
dumping sql file..
gzipping sql file...
uploading my-app_20100730023000.sql.gz to S3...
But looking in S3 shows that it didn’t actually upload anything.
Looks like texticle’s VERSION constant is interfering with the amazon gem. I’ve also tried to use the right_aws gem but I get the exact same error.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to get this going?
So the problem was actually in the fact that I wasn’t specifying the
:require => 'aws/s3'after declaring the gem in the Gemfile. It’s working fine now. Strange though is that now I’ve switched to the right_aws gem and the problem (which used to affect that gem as well) seems to have gone away even though you don’t have to specify the :require with right_aws. Anyone have ideas on that?
