我在 bin/secrets 中有一个 api 密钥。 heroku怎么能找到呢？

Question

I just recently worked with an api and with security in mind, have it placed in the bin/rails secrets file. I have it listed below like

development:
  google_api_key: abcd1234
production:
  google_api_key: abcd1234

However when I push everything to heroku, I get application errors. When I look at the logs I see.

I feel like the most important errors in the logs are

Unable to load application: ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor::InvalidMessage: ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor::InvalidMessage

and

ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor::InvalidMessage: ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor::InvalidMessage

I also see /app/config/environment.rb:5 in the logs which is

# Load the Rails application.
require_relative 'application'

# Initialize the Rails application.
Rails.application.initialize!

I'm (praying) that someone else would have any ideas on what I can do here? I'm pretty new at working with deploying applications to heroku and so i'm not super sure what to do here.

Answer 1

You have to set these keys on heroku:

heroku config:set GITHUB_USERNAME=joesmith

In this case GITHUB_USERNAME ist the set variable and you have to use that in your code so heroku knows what it should insert.

heroku docs: "Configuration and Config Vars"

ruby guides: "How To Use Environment Variables in Ruby"

I also found this guide:
