Rails.root是否被Amazon AWS-SDK gem覆盖？

Question

I see this error:

undefined method `root' for AWS::Rails:Module

The corresponding line in my controller:

directory_name = Rails.root.join('public', @curAdmin.name)

This worked fine until I recently added the aws-sdk gem to my application to push static files and assets over to my S3 bucket.

Now it seems like when I call "Rails" the application thinks I'm referring to an AWS class method.

I don't know how I tripped the system up to do this.

Answer 1

This will happen if you refer to Rails within the AWS namespace. You should be able back out of the namespace by prepending :: to the module - ie ::Rails.root.join('public', @curAdmin.name)

Answer 2

I don't know why I tripped everything up - but if I remove the include at the top of the controller:

#include AWS

And then I refer to such methods directly as:

s3 = AWS::S3.new
bucket = s3.buckets['my_bucket_here']

It works ok. I'd still like to know what I did wrong.
