Title: s3sync.rb to run without current directory defined to where s3try.rb, S3.rb are. Post by: cm_gui on February 17, 2007, 05:28:36 PM Hi Greg
Thank you for the excellent s3sync.rb script. It is working great for us. But we are running s3sync.rb from a bash script, and it would be nice if s3sync.rb is able to run without having to define the working directory to where s3try.rb, S3.rb, etc. are. This was actually discussed before - http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/message.jspa?messageID=46318#46318 http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/message.jspa?messageID=46312#46312 If the working directory is not defined to where the s3sync scripts are, these error messages will appear - << /usr/local/etc/s3sync/s3sync.rb:18:in `require': no such file to load -- thread_generator (LoadError) from /usr/local/etc/s3sync/s3sync.rb:18uuid /usr/local/etc/s3sync/s3cmd.rb:12:in `require': no such file to load -- s3try (LoadError) from /usr/local/etc/s3sync/s3cmd.rb:12 >> I tried changing the scripts. For example, changingline 18 in s3sync.rb from "require 'thread_generator'" to "require '/usr/local/etc/s3sync/thread_generator'", etc. But this introduced other errors. If you can modify the scripts so that they can be run from anywhere, that would be great. Thank you.

I've never tried it.
If so, then I guess it might be time for me to look into what's needed to distribute the main package as a gem.

export RUBYLIB=/usr/local/whatever/lib:/home/me/lib Title: Re: s3sync.rb to run without current directory defined to where s3try.rb, S3.rb Post by: ferrix on February 19, 2007, 08:15:10 AM OK the official stance is now to use the RUBYLIB. I'm still open to the idea of gem-ing, but I don't know anything about it at the moment.

My shell script has lines that look like:
ruby -I s3syncDir s3syncDir/s3sync.rb -r --ssl --delete /home/foo/bin bucketName:home/foo ... and the working dir of my shell script is NOT s3syncDir. Sorry if this was mentioned previously, but I didn't see it in the AWS thread (just re-skimmed briefly). |
