Storage::get( ) using Amazon S3 returns false

Question

Combining both Intervention Image and Amazon S3, I'd like to be able to pull a file from S3 and then use Image to do some cropping. This is what I have so far, why does Storage::get() return false?

$path = 'uploads/pics/123.jpeg';

$exists = Storage::disk('s3')->exists($path); // returns true

$image = Storage::disk('s3')->get($path);     // returns false

From the S3 side of things, the bucket permissions are set to 'Everyone', the Storage::getVisibility() returns public... I'm not sure why I can't load the image as if it were a local image.

Answer 1

Since Dec 2020, Amazon S3 now provides strong read-after-write consistency in all regions, rendering this answer obsolete. For more details, refer to the Amazon S3 Strong Consistency page.

This shouldn't be an issue anymore.

The old answer below has been kept for reference purposes & for providing a reason for the bounty previously awarded.

From the Amazon S3 documentation:

Amazon S3 provides read-after-write consistency for PUTS of new objects in your S3 bucket in all regions with one caveat. The caveat is that if you make a HEAD or GET request to the key name (to find if the object exists) before creating the object, Amazon S3 provides eventual consistency for read-after-write.

Given the example code where the path is static and the exists call is made prior to the get, I'm conjecturing that you're being hit with eventual consistency. Your get should eventually return. Try:

$backoff = 0;
while (false === ($image = Storage::disk('s3')->get($path))) {
    if (5 < $backoff) {
        throw new \RuntimeException;
    }
    sleep(pow(2, $backoff++));
}

If you are using laravel 5 , than apply for this method.

$photo = $attributes['banner_image'];
            $s3    = AWS::createClient('s3');
            try {
                $response = $s3->putObject([
                    'Bucket' => 'gfpressreleasephotos',
                    'Key'    => str_random(8) . '.' . str_replace(' ', '-', strtolower($photo->getClientOriginalName())),
                    'Body'   => fopen($photo->getRealPath(), 'r'),
                    'ACL'    => 'public-read',
                ]);
                if ($response->get('ObjectURL') != null) {
                    $photourl = $response->get('ObjectURL');
                } else {
                    $photourl = $response->get('Location');
                }
                $attributes['banner_image'] = $photourl;
            } catch (S3Exception $e) {
                return "There was an error uploading the file.\n";
            }
