AWS S3，Paperclip缺少必需：bucket选项

Question

I'm trying to use Paperclip and SWS S3 on Heroku to let users upload images.

I do not have my credentials stored in a yml file. I've followed the instructions on the Heroku page: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/paperclip-s3

But, when I try to run my app and upload an image I'm getting this message:

missing required :bucket option
Rails.root: /Users/scottsipiora/Sites/clycss

Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace
app/controllers/instructors_controller.rb:63:in `block in update'
app/controllers/instructors_controller.rb:62:in `update'

The instructions don't mention anything about making a change in my controller. I have seen some examples telling me to put in something like:

In my model I have the following code:

class Instructor < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :bio, :hometown, :name, :school, :sort_order, :started_sailing, :started_teaching, :photo
  has_attached_file :photo, styles: {
    thumb: '100x100>',
    square: '200x200#',
    medium: '300x300>'
  }
end

In my production.rb I have (obviously replacing my real credentials with mock credentials):

  config.paperclip_defaults = {
    :storage => :s3,
    :s3_credentials => {
      :bucket => ENV['bucket name'],
      :access_key_id => ENV['key_id'],
      :secret_access_key => ENV['access_key']
    }
  }

I've also created separate buckets for Production and Dev so things are cleaner.

Any ideas? I'm relatively new and this should be pretty easy.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I think you may have made the same mistake I did. In your production.rb file, do not edit the text to add your specific S3 keys. Just copy-paste the text directly as is listed in the tutorial.

#production.rb
config.paperclip_defaults = {
  :storage => :s3,
  :s3_credentials => {
    :bucket => ENV['AWS_BUCKET'],
    :access_key_id => ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'],
    :secret_access_key => ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']
  }
}

Then, set the environmental variables AWS_BUCKET, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY as described by the author of the dev center article.

Do heroku config to check your environment variables.

Normally they are all caps and have underbars instead of spaces.

If it is not set, you should set the environment variable with

heroku config:add BUCKET_NAME=my_bucket_name

Update your code:

:bucket => ENV['BUCKET_NAME'],

Heroku reference

Answer 3

Scott, sorry if there was any confusion here.

I am the author of the Dev Center article. As B Seven stated above the AWS Config Vars need to be set on the Heroku application.

Heroku has recently updated their documentation ( https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/config-vars#example ) and set is preferred over add going forward.

$ heroku config:set AWS_BUCKET=your_bucket_name
$ heroku config:set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your_access_key_id
$ heroku config:set AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your_secret_access_key

Answer 4

Make sure you restart your CLI of choice when setting values with environment variables. Don't be like me and set up Paperclip and AWS correctly with ENV variables and then waste a bunch of time on Google only to fix the issue by quitting and reopening Terminal. 😞

Answer 5

• Insert into schema.rb table "instructors" this line

 create_table "instructors" do |t| ... t.string "bucket" end 

• Add to controller @instructor[:bucket] = ENV['S3_BUCKET_NAME']
• Run "rake db:setup"
