How to upload an image to Amazon S3 into a folder in ruby?

Question

I am trying to do it like this:

AWS.config(
      :access_key_id => '...', 
      :secret_access_key => '...'
    )
    s3 = AWS::S3.new
    bucket_name = 'bucket_name'
key = "#{File.basename(avatar_big)}"
s3.buckets[bucket_name].objects[key].write(:file => avatar_big_path)

This working well for a file, the file is uploaded to the root of the set up bucket.

However, how to upload it into the foloder photos that is located in root?

I've tried

key = "photos/#{File.basename(avatar_big)}"

but this doesn't work.

EDIT: error message enter image description here

Thank you

There's no error, but the images is saved to the root, not to the respective folder. — user984621, Jan 27 '14 at 21:45
capture the return value of `#write` and inspect the public_url property. — pguardiario, Jan 27 '14 at 23:08

I had the same issue as the OP. This is what worked for me:

key = "photos/example.jpg"
bucket = s3.buckets[bucket_name]
filepath = Pathname.new("path/to/example.jpg")

o = bucket.objects[key]
o.write(filepath)

Something I would check out would be the object key you are trying to use. There's not much documentation on what are the restrictions are (see this and this) but the one shown in error message looks suspicious to me.

Try including the the path in the file key:

 s3.buckets[bucket_name].objects[key].write(:file => "photos/#{avatar_big_path}")

The same unfortunately, the photo goes to the root and not to the directory. – user984621 Jan 27 '14 at 21:46
