We've recently moved to a new webhost that offers limited storage space so we're trying to move all of our user uploads (Avatars, Files, etc.) uploaded via the Paperclip gem to Amazon S3. I have several hundred files all corresponding to different models that I'm now trying to migrate en masse.
I found this document that introduces a nifty paperclip rake task:
rake paperclip:refresh:missing_styles
This command does some of the work for me, however, I noticed it's only setting up the files structure without sending any data - in addition it's not setting up any thumbnails defined using the :styles hash in the has_attached_file call. I.e., I have the following paperclip setup on one of my models:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_attached_file :avatar,
:styles => {
:thumb => "100x100#",
:small => "150x150>",
:medium => "200x200" }
end
Here's some sample output after running the command:
$ rake paperclip:refresh:missing_styles
Regenerating User -> avatar -> [thumb, :small, :medium]
Regenerating Mercury::Image -> image -> [:medium, :thumb]
Regenerating Profile -> image -> [:home_feature, :large, :medium, :thumb]
Regenerating Page -> preview -> [:portfolio]
Regenerating Category -> default_image -> [:home_feature, :large, :medium, :thumb]
Navigating to my S3 Bucket I can see all the directories are correctly setup and for each attachment, but only for original image files and they're all 0 bytes. Am I misunderstanding the usage of this command? I couldn't find any other tool for uploading entire directories of files in bulk to S3, if there's a safe tool out there that already covers this without requiring payment then I'm open ears. I've tried building a ruby script to plug into their SDK and upload these files manually, but their Ruby documentation isn't great.
