is not a recognized storage provider (Mongoid, Carrierwave and S3

Question

i'm using Carrierwave with mongoid support

gem "carrierwave-mongoid", :git => "git://github.com/jnicklas/carrierwave-mongoid.git", :branch => "mongoid-3.0",:require => 'carrierwave/mongoid'

I config carrierwave to use Fog storage with AWS (S3)

# config/initializers/carrierwave.rb
CarrierWave.configure do |config|
    config.storage = :fog
    config.root = Rails.root.join('tmp') # adding these...
    config.cache_dir = 'carrierwave' # ...two lines
    config.fog_credentials = {
        :provider => 'AWS',
        :aws_access_key_id => '',
        :aws_secret_access_key => ''
    },
    config.fog_directory = 'alzheimer'
end

I have a class called Picture to use with the Uploader and the uploader

class ImagenUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
    include CarrierWave::MimeTypes
    include CarrierWave::RMagick
    storage :fog
    process :set_content_type
    process :convert => 'png'
    def filename
        super.chomp(File.extname(super))+'.png'
    end
    version :thumb do
        process :resize_to_fit => [24,24]
    end
end

And my Picture Model class Picture include Mongoid::Document include Mongoid::Timestamps include Mongoid::Paranoia belongs_to :user

     field :descripcion, :type => String
     field :titulo, :type => String
     field :imagen, :type => String

     attr_accessible :imagen, :imagen_cache, :descripcion, :titulo
     mount_uploader :imagen, ImagenUploader
 end

I try to upload an image, ad i get:

ArgumentError: is not a recognized storage provider
from /Users/msdark/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/gems/fog-1.5.0/lib/fog/storage.rb:33:in new'
from /Users/msdark/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/gems/carrierwave-0.6.2/lib/carrierwave/storage/fog.rb:106:inconnection'

I use rails 3.2.8 ruby 1.9.3p194 and unicorn (4.3.1)

The error shows up after upload when try to show this:

image_tag(picture.imagen_url)

Any idea?

I had a similar problem. It turns out my uploader didn't have a storage engine that matched with what was defined in the config. I did a pry inside of the Carrierwave config (in the initializer) and looked at the storage_engines.

[5] pry(main)> config.storage_engines
=> {:file=>"CarrierWave::Storage::File", :fog=>"CarrierWave::Storage::Fog"}

Then I made sure that the uploader's setting matched one of the entries in here. So in your case, if you have

class ImagenUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
  ...
  storage :fog
  ...
end

then you need to make sure that there is an entry for :fog in the config context that your working with. You can backtrack from there.

I realize this is a slightly older question, but if you haven't figured it out, I hope that helps.
