Paperclip aws-sdk error: uninitialized constant

Question

I'm currently running into the uninitialized constant Paperclip::Storage::S3::AWS error when I attempt to upload files to my server. I understand this to be typically caused by running an older version of paperclip, before they added support for aws-sdk-v2. The strange thing is that I'm running the latest paperclip version (4.3.1) which, according to its github page, includes aws-sdk-v2 support.

Honestly, I'm not sure what more I can say about this. I checked the error log and the above is the only complaint it has. Do I need to do anything special to run v2 with paperclip? Thanks to anyone who can shine any light onto this matter.

try to change your Gemfile to:

  gem 'aws-sdk', '< 2.0'
