If you are using Ruby >= version 2.0, this is because Net::HTTP is returning a gzipped HTTP body for your API request (because it does not automatically unzip it now??), and right_aws is getting this compressed body for a response.
The right_aws gem, instead of throwing an exception because it cannot parse the compressed response like it should, is simply returning [] which is an incorrect response to not understanding the http body, so this is a bug.
I have seen monkey patches which change the behavior of Net::HTTP so that it will unzip a gzipped response, and I am contemplating using it. That would fix this problem, but I a a little concerned that right_aws will not complain if it can't understand a response body, and it just returns [].
Plz try https://github.com/rightscale/right_aws_api
It is not compatible with right_aws in inputs/outputs but it is much more flexible. And it does not monkey patch net/http, so gzip works fine there
I am trying to use right_aws to get the list of instances running in my account.
I am providing the correct combination for MY_KEY/MY_SECRET_KEY but I do not get anything back.
And I do have 1 instance running in the region "eu-west-1"
Any idea ?
Here is the output from the Rails console. As you can see I am on Ruby 2 (Rails 4)
