Configuration Problem

[Travis Sperry]

I'm having troubles setting my config files. When I run everything through the console the uploads to S3 work just fine **no errors**, so I know the initialization is happening and I have the keys set correctly. When I try to run things through the web server I get this error:

You need to configure Dragonfly::S3DataStore with access_key_id

Why will it process the uploads via console but not from the model?

Here are my initializers

# config/initializers/dragonfly.rb

require 'dragonfly'

# Configure

Dragonfly.app.configure do

  plugin :imagemagick

  protect_from_dos_attacks true

  secret "203abc7fb6b4020efec5da25c5026525a7cfd56b3f5b5420bd54e3defd6bc10e"

  url_format "/media/:job/:name"

end

# Logger

Dragonfly.logger = Rails.logger

# Mount as middleware

Rails.application.middleware.use Dragonfly::Middleware

# Add model functionality

if defined?(ActiveRecord::Base)

  ActiveRecord::Base.extend Dragonfly::Model

  ActiveRecord::Base.extend Dragonfly::Model::Validations

end

#config/initializers/dragonfly_s3.rb

if Rails.env.development?

  bucket_name = "whatever"

else

  bucket_name = "whatever2"

end

Dragonfly.app.configure do

  datastore :s3,

    bucket_name: bucket_name,

    access_key_id: ENV['S3_CAMPS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'],

    secret_access_key: ENV['S3_CAMPS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']

end

Here's the call via the model:

class CouponCode < ActiveRecord::Base

  extend Dragonfly::Model

  dragonfly_accessor :image

  def generate_share_image

    # Read coupon.svg file

    file = File.read('app/assets/images/coupons/coupon.svg')

    #create custom coupon code using last name of parent

    coupon_code = name

    # Add custom coupon code to coupon.svg information

    file = file.gsub('CouponCode', coupon_code)

    # create new file and add edited info

    File.open('tmp/coupon.svg', 'w'){ |f| f.write(file) }

    new_file = File.open('tmp/coupon.svg')

    #save to s3

    result = Dragonfly.app.store(new_file, {}, path: "images/#{coupon_code}.svg", headers: {'x-amz-acl' => 'public-read-write'})

    update_attribute :image_uid, result

    File.delete(new_file)

    result

  end

end

Do I need to add something to allow the model to access Dragonfly after it's been initialized?  Users are not uploading images per the normal implementation. Instead, an image is being changed and uploaded to S3 each time a record is created.

I can only imagine ENV['S3_CAMPS_ACCESS_KEY_ID’] isn’t set when you run the web server.
I don’t know your deployment process, but you’ll need to make sure the ENV is set properly (you could do a quick check with “raise ENV.inspect” or something)
