Environment Setup

Running 2.2.7.

Steps to reproduce

1. According to instructions, set PARSE_SERVER_FILES_ADAPTER to ./Files/S3Adapter.js as env variable and other env S3_ACCESS_KEY, S3_SECRET_KEY and S3_BUCKET accordingly.
2. Parse.File is still saved to mongodb instead of S3.

Now that S3Adapter is moved to an external package parse-server-modules/parse-server-s3-adapter. I'm guessing PARSE_SERVER_FILES_ADAPTER is no longer correct in the documentation. I don't see any mention in the README of enabling S3 using env variable neither. It would be nice to have PARSE_SERVER_FILES_ADAPTER continue to work as I only enable S3 on staging and production. Other development environments are default to storing to mongodb.

Logs/Trace

No error from log. Log shows that the file was saved.

For example

"photos": [
    {
      "__type": "File",
      "url": "http://localhost:1337/files/myAppId/e35f8f0f4bbd2d1b8c83a250f0fd0172_image.png",
      "name": "e35f8f0f4bbd2d1b8c83a250f0fd0172_image.png"
    }
  ],

According to readme , you should set filesAdapter: "parse-server-s3-adapter"in index.js

[thibauddavid]

@StephenWilson This is not an alternative way to do it, readme specifies Set your environment variables: blablabla **And** update your config / options

[5amfung]

@Tibabal So the instruction on the wiki page is outdated?

[thibauddavid]

@5amfung Seems so, yes... @gfosco could you update the wiki (linked above) specifying filesAdapter: "parse-server-s3-adapter" must be added in index.js ?

[mmeester]

so it's not possible anymore to set it up with environment variables?

[5amfung]

I guess not. I created a new env variable and set it to parse-server-s3-adapter when I want files going to S3. But of course, you have to set S3_ACCESS_KEY and all those as well.

var api = new ParseServer({
  // ...
  filesAdapter: process.env.FILES_ADAPTER || undefined
});
