Even though i use ReqS3.attach() i still get reply in XML

I tried to fetch titles of objects using req with req_s3 plugin.

def new_req(options \\ []) when is_list(options) do
  access_key = System.fetch_env!("MINIO_ACCESS_KEY")
  secret_access_key = System.fetch_env!("MINIO_SECRET_KEY")
  endpoint_url = System.fetch_env!("MINIO_URL")
  Req.new(
    base_url: "#{endpoint_url}/justrunit",
    aws_sigv4: [service: :s3, access_key_id: access_key, secret_access_key: secret_access_key],
    retry: :transient
  )
  |> ReqS3.attach()
  |> Req.merge(options)
end

def list_objects(prefix) do
  req = new_req() |> ReqS3.attach()
    
  case Req.get!(req, params: [prefix: prefix]) do
    %Req.Response{status: 200, body: body} -> {:ok, body}
    response -> {:error, response}
  end
end

And it returned XML instead of elixir data structures.

I printed out request steps after attaching ReqS3 and it seems fine.

web-1            | Step: {:put_user_agent, &Req.Steps.put_user_agent/1}
web-1            | Step: {:compressed, &Req.Steps.compressed/1}
web-1            | Step: {:encode_body, &Req.Steps.encode_body/1}
web-1            | Step: {:put_base_url, &Req.Steps.put_base_url/1}
web-1            | Step: {:auth, &Req.Steps.auth/1}
web-1            | Step: {:put_params, &Req.Steps.put_params/1}
web-1            | Step: {:put_path_params, &Req.Steps.put_path_params/1}
web-1            | Step: {:put_range, &Req.Steps.put_range/1}
web-1            | Step: {:cache, &Req.Steps.cache/1}
web-1            | Step: {:put_plug, &Req.Steps.put_plug/1}
web-1            | Step: {:compress_body, &Req.Steps.compress_body/1}
web-1            | Step: {:checksum, &Req.Steps.checksum/1}
web-1            | Step: {:s3_handle_url, #Function<2.113709267/1 in ReqS3.handle_s3_url>}
web-1            | Step: {:put_aws_sigv4, &Req.Steps.put_aws_sigv4/1}

Putting XML into ReqS3.XML.parse_s3 works as it should i’d rather use ReqS3.attach().

My project is using MinIO as a local S3 db so you can get it from github and run:

git clone https://github.com/justrundotit/justrunit
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml up

Thanks for your time, all questions are welcome :slight_smile:

@Wojciech, just to confirm: your endpoint URL starts with “s3://” correct?

As @jswanner said (thanks!), XML is decoded only when you use the s3:// scheme. I just released v0.2.2 that adds an :aws_endpoint_url_s3 option so you can use s3:// with a custom URL. This should now work:

def new_req(options \\ []) when is_list(options) do
  access_key = System.fetch_env!("MINIO_ACCESS_KEY")
  secret_access_key = System.fetch_env!("MINIO_SECRET_KEY")
  endpoint_url = System.fetch_env!("MINIO_URL")
  Req.new(
    base_url: "s3://justrunit",
    aws_sigv4: [access_key_id: access_key, secret_access_key: secret_access_key],
    aws_endpoint_url_s3: endpoint_url,
    retry: :transient
  )
  |> ReqS3.attach()
  |> Req.merge(options)
end

(I assume justrunit is the name of the bucket.)

Btw, if you set AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_S3, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, the following would work too:

def new_req(options \\ []) when is_list(options) do
  Req.new(
    base_url: "s3://justrunit"
    retry: :transient
  )
  |> ReqS3.attach()
  |> Req.merge(options)
end

Well… i didn’t use s3 scheme, but now when i have changed it and i get this error when i try to upload a file:

web-1            | [warning] retry: got exception, will retry in 1000ms, 3 attempts left
web-1            | [warning] ** (Req.TransportError) connection refused
web-1            | [warning] retry: got exception, will retry in 2000ms, 2 attempts left
web-1            | [warning] ** (Req.TransportError) connection refused
web-1            | [warning] retry: got exception, will retry in 4000ms, 1 attempt left
web-1            | [warning] ** (Req.TransportError) connection refused

Even though after doing:

full_url = "#{req.options[:base_url]}/#{key}"
IO.puts("Debug: Request URL: #{full_url}")

I get this output:

Debug: Request URL: s3://justrunit/1/44r4r/tekst2

So it should’ve been fine, here’s the code:

def new_req(options \\ []) when is_list(options) do
    Req.new(
      base_url: "s3://justrunit",
      retry: :transient
    )
    |> ReqS3.attach()
    |> Req.merge(options)
  end

  def put_object(key, content, opts \\ []) do
    put_if_exists = Keyword.get(opts, :put_if_exists, false)
    if put_if_exists && object_exists?(key) do
      {:error, :already_exists}
    else
      req = new_req()

      full_url = "#{req.options[:base_url]}/#{key}"
      IO.puts("Debug: Request URL: #{full_url}")

      case Req.put!(req, url: key, body: content) do
        %Req.Response{status: status} when status in 200..299 -> 
          {:ok, :created}
        response -> 
          IO.inspect(response)
          {:error, response}
      end
    end
  end

I have also set environmental variables inside my dockerfile to:

- AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_S3=s3://minio:9000
- AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=minioadmin
- AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=minioadmin

So that’s the reason why some stuff have been removed.

Thank you guys for your replies

When using ReqS3 plugin, s3:// gets special treatment but here you should use http://. Apologies if this is confusing, I’ll try to improve docs.

Seems you are getting econnrefused so perhaps port 9000 is not bound, there are problems with connectivity between containers etc.

Could you create a minimal reproduction, eg a command to run minio and a single file .exs that uses Mix.install?

I tried to do that but to be honest there are so many steps that i don’t trust myself doing minimal replication without doing at least one thing wrong.

You can do:

git clone https://github.com/justrundotit/justrunit
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml up

It takes about three minutes from start to finish.

Relevant files:

  • lib/justrunit/s3.ex for main logic
  • docker-compose.dev.yml for env variables

To test if it works enter http://localhost:4000 and click new account in top-right.

I’m sorry you have to do so much, but the alternative isn’t any better :disguised_face:

OK, there was another req_s3 bug which is now fixed on main. This now works:

# docker run -d -p 9000:9000 -p 9001:9001 minio/minio server /data --console-address ":9001"
Mix.install([
  {:req_s3, github: "wojtekmach/req_s3", ref: "81ea8f6"}
])

System.put_env("AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_S3", "http://localhost:9000")
System.put_env("AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID", "minioadmin")
System.put_env("AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY", "minioadmin")

req =
  Req.new(base_url: "s3://bucket1")
  |> ReqS3.attach()

# create bucket
%{status: status} = Req.put!(req)
true = status in [200, 409]

%{status: 200} = Req.put!(req, url: "/object1", body: "value1")

# list objects
%{status: 200, body: body} = Req.get!(req, url: "/")
dbg(body)

And here’s a version that doesn’t rely on global things:

# docker run -d -p 9000:9000 -p 9001:9001 minio/minio server /data --console-address :9001
Mix.install([
  {:req_s3, github: "wojtekmach/req_s3", ref: "81ea8f6"}
])

req =
  Req.new()
  |> ReqS3.attach()
  |> Req.merge(
    aws_sigv4: [
      access_key_id: "minioadmin",
      secret_access_key: "minioadmin"
    ],
    aws_endpoint_url_s3: "http://localhost:9000"
  )

# create bucket
%{status: status} = Req.put!(req, url: "s3://bucket1")
true = status in [200, 409]

# create object
%{status: 200} = Req.put!(req, url: "s3://bucket1/object1", body: "value1")

# list objects
%{status: 200, body: body} = Req.get!(req, url: "s3://bucket1")
dbg(body)

Thanks! That was the solution.
