S3 storage fails with fog 0.7.2 + carrierwave master branch

When trying to store a file I get the following:

TypeError: can't convert nil into String

I've tried to debug manually and I wonder whether the issue ties in with the fact @content_type is being set as nil, although I haven't been able to deduce much further than that.

This is an s3 (or fog, I don't have any other providers) specific issue and my project works fine when using :file storage. Thoughts?

This problem just bit me. I solved it by putting this in config/initializers/carrierwave.rb:

S3_CONFIG = YAML.load_file(Rails.root.join('config', 'amazon_s3.yml'))[Rails.env]

CarrierWave.configure do |config|
  config.storage              = :s3
  config.s3_access_policy     = :public_read
  config.s3_access_key_id     = S3_CONFIG['access_key_id']
  config.s3_secret_access_key = S3_CONFIG['secret_access_key']
  config.s3_bucket            = S3_CONFIG['bucket']
end

and putting this in config/amazon_s3.yml:

development:
  access_key_id: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  secret_access_key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  bucket: your-dev-bucket

test:
  access_key_id: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  secret_access_key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  bucket: your-test-bucket

production:
  access_key_id: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  secret_access_key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  bucket: your-prod-bucket

Solved. I was using the out-dated configuration stated in the README rather than the new method stating within the documentation.

New developers to carrierwave be sure to read the actual RDOC, not the readme.
