"missing required :bucket option" for Paperclip/S3

amazon-s3, heroku, paperclip, ruby-on-rails

Solution

I think that's because `:bucket` should be an option passed to Paperclip not to S3. Fixed config

  config.paperclip_defaults = {
    :storage => :s3,
    :s3_protocol => 'http',
    :bucket => ENV['AWS_BUCKET'],
    :s3_credentials => {
      :access_key_id => ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'],
      :secret_access_key => ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']
    }
  }

And Paperclip::Storage::S3 doc seems to confirm that, even being so poorly written/formatted.

EDIT:

In one of my projects I use Paperclip with Fog gem and this works well

Paperclip::Attachment.default_options.merge!(
  :storage => :fog,
  :fog_credentials => {
    :provider => 'AWS',
    :aws_access_key_id => ENV['S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID'],
    :aws_secret_access_key => ENV['S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'],
    :region => 'eu-west-1' # in case you need it
  },
  :fog_directory => ENV['S3_BUCKET'], # only one of those is needed but I don't remember which
  :bucket => ENV['S3_BUCKET']
)

Problem

In my Rails app I'm letting users upload an image when they create a "release", and it should upload directly to S3. I'm getting the following error in both development and production. EDIT: I should note that this error happens when trying to upload from the release edit page on form submit. ``` ArgumentError in ReleasesController#update missing required :bucket option Rails.root: /Users/jasondemeuse/pressed ``` I've done this before with no issues using Carrierwave, but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong now that I'm using Paperclip. All of the fixes I've seen on SO and elsewhere are heroku issues, but I'm getting the same problem on development and none of the fixes have helped. Here's the relevant code ("..." indicates not relevant snippets): development.rb ``` Appname::Application.configure do ... config.paperclip_defaults = { :storage => :s3, :s3_protocol => 'http', :s3_credentials => { :bucket => ENV['AWS_BUCKET'], :access_key_id => ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'], :secret_access_key => ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'] } } end ``` production.rb ``` Appname::Application.configure do ... config.paperclip_defaults = { :storage => :s3, :s3_protocol => 'http', :s3_credentials => { :bucket => ENV['AWS_BUCKET'], :access_key_id => ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'], :secret_access_key => ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'] } } end ``` release.rb ``` class Release < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessible ... :banner belongs_to :user has_attached_file :banner, styles: { thumb: '100x100>', square: '200x200#', medium: '300x300>', spread: '1200x200' } has_many :banners, :dependent => :destroy accepts_nested_attributes_for :banners, :allow_destroy => true end ``` show.html.erb ``` <%= image_tag @release.banner.url(:medium) %> <%= @release.banner.url %> // Have both of these in for now to see if they work, but since the upload isn't working it's giving me the missing.png ``` _form.html.erb ``` <%= f.label "Add A Banner?" %><br /> <%= f.file_field :banner %> ``` heroku config (have the same in .bash_profile for development) ``` AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX AWS_BUCKET: appname AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ``` EDIT: Here's my the relevant part of my controller too ``` def update @release = Release.find(params[:id]) respond_to do |format| if @release.update_attributes(params[:release]) format.html { redirect_to [@user,@release], notice: 'Release was successfully updated.' } format.json { head :no_content } else format.html { render action: "edit" } format.json { render json: @release.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity } end end end ``` I know this should be extremely simple and I'm sure I just forgot something obvious, but I've been going over this walkthrough as well as fixes I've found and nothing seems to work. Is there a rake task or bundle that I forgot to run or something? Thank you in advance! EDIT 2: The below answers helped me out a lot, and switching to the `fog` gem fixed most things for me. Just in case others are having these same issues, I also was having another problem that was making this one confusing for me. If you're having heroku issues and a `Paperclip::PaperclipError (Item model missing required attr_accessor for 'image_file_name'):`, make sure you run `heroku rake db:migrate` then restart heroku with `heroku restart`. I loaded my schema and wrongly assumed I wouldn't need to do that. A SO answer with the above can be found here.
