Issue with Paperclip/S3 in Rails 3.2.5 “cannot load such file — aws-sdk”

Question

Image Uploading was working fine, but when I tried switching it to S3, it started throwing an error. I get the following error when I try to create a new image upload:

cannot load such file -- aws-sdk (You may need to install the aws-sdk gem)

Relevant gems:

gem 'rails', '3.2.5'
gem 'paperclip'
gem 'aws-sdk'

config/s3.yml:

development:
    bucket: bucketname
    access_key_id: #
    secret_access_key: #

test:
    bucket: bucketname
    access_key_id: #
    secret_access_key: #

image_upload.rb:

  has_attached_file :image,
    :styles => {
      :normal => "1680x6000",
      :result => "560x3000",
      :thumb => "140x500" },
    :path => ":attachment/:style/:normalized_file_name.:extension",
    :storage => :s3,
    :s3_credentials => "#{Rails.root}/config/s3.yml"

Things I have tried:

• bundle install
• Change the version of aws-sdk to 1.3.4
• gem install aws-sdk
• Changed the s3_credentials "Rails.root" part to a few different things.

Thank you for the help!!

Answer 1

A little embarrassing... I just needed to restart rails server. Can't believe I forgot to do that.

Answer 2

如果在需要aws-sdk的文件顶部添加require 'rubygems' ，会发生什么情况？
