Calling S3 from a command-line tool

[scripting]

I'm working on a command-line tool that connects to S3 among other things. But there's a problem. When the app opens, ie every time you issue a command, we get a multi-line message from the AWS package saying it's time to convert to the new version of their API.

Okay great. I guess now I finally have to convert. So I go to their website and like all Amazon docs, it never gets to the point.

I have all my S3 code in one package, so it should be easy for me to transition.

https://github.com/scripting/s3/blob/master/daves3.js

Anyway, please if you have any ideas, I have just this code to convert.

Maybe this might help..

Hey @scripting, the documentation for version 3 of the AWS S3 client lives here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/v3/latest/clients/client-s3/.

Because it's AWS, it's not a drop-in replacement to move from v2 to v3, and I imagine you don't want to waste time supporting their new syntax, but there is documentation for using the v3 client in a fully v2 compatible mode: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/v3/latest/clients/client-s3/#v2-compatible-style

I've used the v3 version of the client extensively, and it's quite stable, but I've never used it in this compatibility mode described in the docs, so YMMV.

@scripting Doing some searching I found a thread explaining where the message is coming from and how to suppress it...

require('aws-sdk/lib/maintenance_mode_message').suppress = true;

But of course that's just a band-aid and not a solution.

@scotthansonde -- that worked! hooooray.

@Pavonis -- thanks for the tip. i'm going to look into using that.

@scotthansonde -- and i baked it into daves3 package so now the stinky messages are suppressed in everything. i won't forget.
