@Kelly/#11: Not really, I’m afraid. Think of AWS SDB Proxy more as a proof of concept. aws-sdb 0.1.2 works fine for that purpose.

Do you have any plans to update this plugin to keep it in sync w/ aws-sdb gem? I get the same error that @dash got. I’d really rather not roll back to the old gem version. It looks like there have been a lot of bug fixes since then.

@dash/#9: This post is fairly old, so it might not be in sync with later developments. Please try to use aws-sdb 0.1.2 instead of the current 0.3.1 and see if it works ok with that.

Hi,

When I try to execute “rake –trace aws_sdb:create_domain DOMAIN=my_test_domain”, I get the following error:

** Invoke aws_sdb:create_domain (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
** Execute aws_sdb:create_domain
rake aborted!
wrong number of arguments (3 for 1)
/Users/dharmesh/NetBeansProjects/FooPetsTranslations/vendor/plugins/aws_sdb_proxy/lib/aws_sdb_proxy/server.rb:27:in `initialize’
/Users/dharmesh/NetBeansProjects/FooPetsTranslations/vendor/plugins/aws_sdb_proxy/lib/aws_sdb_proxy/server.rb:27:in `new’
[…]

Please advise. Thanks in advance!

Tim has just released version 0.1.2 of the aws-sdb gem. As Amazon will discontinue the API version used in version 0.1.1 shortly, a update is highly recommend. 0.1.2 is working great with AWS SDB Proxy.

Tim,

You know Jamis has decried Needle as unnecessary? http://weblog.jamisbuck.org/2007/7/29/net-ssh-revisited

I opened the aws-sdb project up a bit today and added a request for developers.

I purposely kept the API simple (heh no pun intended) so as to not presume how people would want to use SDB.

Creating Item and Domain objects had crossed my mind but I wanted the initial release to just be access to SDB - not trying to do anything fancy on top yet.

More later….

Heh martin - if you have patches then let’s have them! I still have to do the rdoc and more polish.

Quick update: I just gave the amazon_sdb gem by Jacob Harris (NY Times) a test drive and sadly must assess that the released gem 0.6.5 is a real PITA - missing source files and missing methods all over (svn version looks better). The API is much richer than aws-sdb’s by Tim Dysinger, though. Let’s wait and see how they both evolve…
