Rails Paperclip conflict between aws-s3 gem and right_aws gem. How to solve?

Question

for a new App I want to use paperclip to store Files to S3. I already have installed the aws-s3 gem for another app. That seems to cause some problems, because Paperclip should use right_aws but is trying to use the aws-s3 gem. But I don't want to remove the aws-s3 gem from my system. Is there a way to solve this conflict? Maybe by forcing paperclip to use right_aws? Or by changing the configuration? My setup ``` # enviroment.rb config.gem 'right_aws' # my model with the attachment has_attached_file :thumbnail, :styles => { :thumb => "160x120>" }, :storage => :s3, :s3_credentials => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/config/amazons3.yml", :path => ":provider/:attachment/:id_:style.:extension" # config/amazons3.yml development: bucket: bucketname access_key_id: secret secret_access_key: secret test: bucket: bucketname access_key_id: secret secret_access_key: secret production: bucket: bucketname access_key_id: secret secret_access_key: secret # The Error in the console ArgumentError: wrong number of argum…

Accepted Answer

Wow, that was fast. I solved the issue by just using the aws-s3 gem and therefore changing my enviroment.rb to read:

```
#config.gem 'right_aws'
config.gem "aws-s3", :version => ">= 0.6.2", :lib => "aws/s3"
```

Hope that helps somebody!
