Paperclip :path arguments

Whilst developing locally, I don't want any images I upload to my s3 bucket to overwrite, or affect in any way those already uploaded through the production app.

My :path argument looks like this

:path => "profile_photo/:id/photo_:style.:extension"

Which means that an uploaded file will be at profile_photo/1/photo_normal.png

Fine, but if I upload an image for my resource with :id 1, it will overwrite the photo that may have been uploaded by an RL user.

The problem could be solved if there was a way to get the current environment, something like this, maybe?

:path => "profile_photo/:environment/:id/photo_:style.:extension"

to output a file path

profile_photo/production/1/photo_normal.png

or profile_photo/development/1/photo_normal.png

This would be ideal, and I don't really want to create a separate bucket for development, I'm just a little strange like that.

I've looked for a place to find which symbols are available to pass as arguments, no success.

How have others solved this problem?

According to the source code here and here, I'm pretty sure you can do:

:path => "profile_photo/:rails_env/:id/photo_:style.:extension"
