How to check if a resource exists in AWS S3bucket

Question

I have an AWS S3 bucket to which I have several folders.

s3 = AWS::S3.new
bucket =  s3.buckets['test']
bucket.exists? => true

Say I have a resource with a name demo/index.html, how can I check if this resource is present in this bucket?

Maybe my question is too simple, but I can not find the right answer for this. Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

#exists? ⇒ Logical

Returns true if the object exists in S3.

# new object, does not exist yet
obj = bucket.objects["my-text-object"]
# no instruction file present
begin
  bucket.objects['my-text-object.instruction'].exists? #=> false
rescue
  # exists? can raise an error `Aws::S3::Errors::Forbidden`
end


# store the encryption materials in the instruction file
# instead of obj#metadata
obj.write("MY TEXT",
  :encryption_key => MY_KEY,
  :encryption_materials_location => :instruction_file)

begin
  bucket.objects['my-text-object.instruction'].exists? #=> true
rescue
  # exists? can raise an error `Aws::S3::Errors::Forbidden`
end
