aws-sdk gem 3.0.1+ raises uninitialized constant Aws::VERSION

[ghost]

I think this is happening because aws-sdk gem has removed the constant Aws::VERSION, which is used by Paperclip here and here.

aws-sdk also got split up into different gems for the different services. I assume, only aws-sdk-s3 would be needed.

you'll get the same error with aws-sdk-s3

So is there any fix for this? A workaround? Something?

[rlugge]

OK, I found a workaround. Instead of simply specifying gem 'aws-sdk', I'm using a specific version instead: gem 'aws-sdk', '2.10.47'

Long-term this is NOT a good solution, but if you're like me and just trying to get off ground zero temporarily its 'a' solution while Paperclip gets updated.

@rlugge you can specify it as gem 'aws-sdk', '< 3.0' so you'll get the latest 2.x version :)

A workaround to keep using ''>= 2.0''
I did this (for rails)

# config/initializers/aws.rb
Aws::VERSION =  Gem.loaded_specs["aws-sdk"].version

Is there a way to not include the whole aws-sdk gem? So many dependencies!

@tomrossi7 There's a PR working on this: #2481

gem "paperclip", "~> 6.1.0"
gem 'aws-sdk', '~> 3.0', '>= 3.0.1'
