Hey buddys,

sorry to bother you again …

Did someone installed it?

I just tested using the native Ruby Console (not the AS Ruby Code Editor) and it takes a few minutes, but the gem does install in SU2020.

  1. I believe this is discourse, so it supports some markdown. Please enclose console/log/code in triple backticks so it’s readable (like the below code)

  2. Some Ruby code doesn’t deal with spaces in paths, and the folder ‘SketchUp 2020’ has a space. Your username may also have a space.

  3. STDOUT and $stdout aren’t the same in SU, and Sketchup::Console doesn’t have all the methods of STDOUT/IO.

    STDOUT.class    #-> IO
$stdout.class   #-> Sketchup::Console

Hi Dan,
I recently tried the same in Sketchup 2019 ruby console. The Gem install

Gem.install(‘aws-sdk-s3’)

part goes through but if you do

require ‘aws-sdk-s3’

it fails. I getting the following error

Beware that we strongly recommend not using Gem.install for production extension that’s released to end users. More details in this post: Install Prawn gem in SketchUp 2016 - #2 by tt_su

The SKETCHUP_CONSOLE object takes control of $stdin and $stdout.
So apparently the standard library Logger is not compatible with SketchUp’s embedded Ruby process.
Likely because the console is not a subclass of the IO class.

  • Use standalone Ruby (matching the versions for your target SketchUp) and install the gem there. Then you can copy the gem to your extension.

How can I do it? system('gem install aws-sdk-s3') installs in Sketchup’s Gems directory.
Also, the same Ruby version might not be installed at the user’s end.

I will check this.

What I recommend is that you modify the gem to be wrapped in your extension’s namespace. Just building and installing it locally and bundling it isn’t enough as you’d still have the issue namespace collisions.

No, just no.

  1. What Thomas (@tt_su) said is correct, re the namespace collisions.

  2. Have a look at a recent CI test run for the SDK. I think there are eight instances of ‘with native extensions’, which means that eight of the gems that are dependencies of the SDK are extension gems, which require compiling. Some could be dependencies used just for testing, but they don’t look like they are (see the Gemfile).

  3. Re compiling extension gems, new versions of SU Ruby are mswin builds, most gems don’t test against mswin, but against mingw64 or ucrt64. So, they may not build, or, if they build, they may not work. Some don’t even test against Windows Ruby.

  4. One might be able to set ENV['PURE_RUBY'] = '1' and install the SDK, but that may be slow, since the json and xml parsing will be done in Ruby code, not compiled c. And possibly other things…

Lastly, the SDK is divided into quite a few gems (see https://rubygems.org/search?query=aws-sdk). Installing a portion of the SDK might be an easier task.

Hi!

I am also trying to sort this out. I try to connect to aws s3 to upload some files (json) that are generated out of SketchUp data within the model.

The gem(s) can be installed. Also the prerequisites.

I used the Ruby-console and installed the gems:

Gem::install(‘aws-sdk-s3’)
Gem::install(‘net-ssh’)
Gem::install(‘net-scp’)
Gem::install(‘net-sftp’)

It could be done… but when my extension starts there is that already discussed error:

Error: #<TypeError: no implicit conversion of Sketchup::Console into String>

As far as I understand it right now, there is a conflict of the way the aws gems use the “STDIN and STDOUT” - and this conflict between SketchUp and the aws gems can be solved? Did ever someone sort this out? Is there a way to use aws s3 by ruby code within a SketchUp -Extension?

Even when someone takes the work to modify the aws gems ‘to be wrapped within the extension code and namespace’ - the work of making STDOUT compatible still needs to be done - right?

To find a solution I tried to call aws cli by “system” calls within the extension. This is working on Windows - but on MacOS just within debug mode. I would like a solution that is working on Windows and on MacOS…

Help is gratefully accepted.

Thanks,
Dirk

I think the issue remains as described.

You could try this:

$stdout.define_singleton_method(:puts) {|text| self.write("#{text}\n") }

I have no idea. I’ve never used any of these gems, nor the AWS API.

It was a while ago, but I think I had the same issue with the aws gems. It is probably not an elegant solution, but this is what I do (in Windows and Mac)

$stdout = StringIO.new("log.log")
require "aws-sdk-ec2"
require "aws-sdk-s3"
$stdout = SKETCHUP_CONSOLE

Hi Rojj!

This info is awesome!!! Thank you very much!

I got it working - AWS S3 file upload from ruby code within my SketchUp-extension.

Again: Thank you for that code snippet!

Best,
Dirk
