I needed to patch fake-s3 to handle a case that led to same exact behavior:

May or may not be your problem though.

I'm using HEAD of fakes3, and whenever I restart the fakes3 server lookinng up keys is not working anymore, I always get an empty list of objects for each bucket.

I'm seeing the exact same problem using the AWS-S3 ruby gem. Everything works great, but after server restart I get "AWS::S3::NoSuchKey ". Checking the fakes3 folder, the files are there.

The proposed patch is not working.

Any ideas on what could cause this?

I worked around this locally with the following changes in lib/fakes3/file_store.rb:

19c19
<         bucket_obj = Bucket.new(bucket_name,Time.now,[])
---
>         bucket_obj = Bucket.new(bucket_name,Time.now,get_objects(bucket_name, bucket))

I just had the same problem - objects are no longer listed after restarting the server, although I can still GET them. I applied the fix from dterhorst and it worked. This would be a good pull request.

I had to use a combination of fixes here to get it working in my fork:
