Debugging AWS S3 for Rails Active Storage

Tech WebDev Rails

It could be your CORS configuration for AWS S3 for Rails ActiveStorage

If you've gotten to the point where you can add an upload to Active Storage but then the items somehow disappear, it's probably your CORS configuration that's wrong.

This is what you'll need to toss into your CORS settings for your AWS bucket 

<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CORSConfiguration xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">
<CORSRule>
    <AllowedOrigin>*</AllowedOrigin>
    <AllowedMethod>GET</AllowedMethod>
    <MaxAgeSeconds>3000</MaxAgeSeconds>
    <AllowedHeader>Authorization</AllowedHeader>
</CORSRule>
<CORSRule>
    <AllowedOrigin>*</AllowedOrigin>
    <AllowedMethod>PUT</AllowedMethod>
    <AllowedMethod>POST</AllowedMethod>
    <MaxAgeSeconds>3000</MaxAgeSeconds>
    <AllowedHeader>*</AllowedHeader>
</CORSRule>
</CORSConfiguration>
</pre>
