AWS Simple Email Service Ruby SDK Version 1 works in rails c but not in ruby file. Why?

I am trying to write a script in my Rails 4.2 application that will send an email using the Amazon SES API using the Ruby SDK version 1. For compatibility reasons with other gems, I need to use Version 1.

The problem that I am experiencing is that when I load the console with rails c I am able to execute these methods perfectly:

ses = AWS::SimpleEmailService.new
ses.identities.map(&:identity)
ses.send_email(.......)

so on and so forth. However, my script/amazon_ses.rb file seems to fail when I try to execute it and I'm not sure why that is.

Here is my initializer file:

ActionMailer::Base.add_delivery_method :amazon_ses,     
  AWS::SimpleEmailService,
    access_key_id: ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'],
    secret_access_key: ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'],
    region: 'email.us-east-1.amazonaws.com',
    server: 'email.us-east-1.amazonaws.com'

This is my script/amazon_ses.rb file:

require 'aws-sdk-v1'

ses = AWS::SimpleEmailService.new
identity = ses.identities.map(&:identity)
ses.send_email(.......code.....)

rescue in block in define_attribute_getter': unable to find the identity (AWS::Core::Resource::NotFound)

I'm not sure what to make of this but I have the feeling that Core::Resource is not being loaded, inherited, included etc. Has anyone encounted this problem before?

try adding 

require File.expand_path('../../config/environment', __FILE__)

to the top of your script. This will pull in your rails environment.

or without adding the above try 

 bin/rails runner script/amazon_ses.rb
