[fog][WARNING] Unable to load the 'unf' gem. Your AWS strings may not be properly encoded.

I'm getting the above warning even though I'm using Rackspace. I suspect that asset_sync is requiring fog's lib/fog/aws.rb even when a non AWS host is being used.

See this commit in fog: fog/fog@8d808d4

Two potential solutions that I can see. Either you can avoid running fog's lib/fog/aws.rb or add unf directly as an asset_sync dependency (possibly wise anyway to support AWS users).

Looks like this was added in v1.18.0 ?

If we specified fog at a maximum version v1.17.0 (https://github.com/fog/fog/releases/tag/v1.17.0) would that work for now?

[josephlord]

Yes, I think that or just adding unf as a dependency would do it (see the untested #235). I've just realised that I haven't tested either the patch or the original issue on a recent version of asset_sync as I'm running off a fork (essentially #149). Sorry just forgot I wasn't running on the main branch.

[josephlord]

OK I've checked now and the warning does appear on a current version of asset_sync and the proposed pull request does prevent it (at the cost of a dependency but one that previously existed via fog). I suggest taking the #235 PR as the best solution but it is up to you. A merge of #149 would be great too so that I don't have to maintain my fork but that is literally a separate issue ;)

Bump.
