Question

I’m working on implementing an Amazon S3 uploader for my rails project.

I’m trying to access a bucket so that I can assign all the images to a variable and list them.

I keep getting the following error when I try to view my new action in my uploads controller:

undefined method `find' for AWS::S3::Bucket:Class

Here is my uploads_controller.rb

class UploadsController < ApplicationController
require 'aws/s3'

  def new

    photo_bucket = AWS::S3::Bucket.find('photos')
    @photos = photo_bucket.objects
  end
end

The find method is documented here http://amazon.rubyforge.org/.

Any clue as to what is going on here?

Thanks.

Here is my Gemfile:

gem 'paperclip'
gem 'aws-s3'
gem 'aws-sdk'
gem 'rails', '3.2.0'
gem 'bcrypt-ruby', '3.0.1'
gem 'nokogiri'
gem 'kaminari'
gem 'acts-as-taggable-on', '~> 2.2.2'
gem 'omniauth-twitter'
gem 'omniauth-facebook'
gem "friendly_id", "~> 4.0.1"

You can’t use aws-s3 and aws-sdk together since they will conflict with each other.
