Devise.secret_key was not set

[mathonsunday]

Whenever I try to run the app (ex. with pow) I get this error:

RuntimeError: Devise.secret_key was not set. Please add the following to your Devise initializer:

config.secret_key = '-----'

Please ensure you restarted your application after installing Devise or setting the key.

I know we set the key in devise.rb, so I'm surprised to get this error. I get the same error when I change the key environment variable to the new key given in the error message and restart the app.

Hmm, I’m running it with pow, too, and I don’t have that error. Do you have the .env.development file? What happens if you try to run it with rails s?

It is set on the production environment on heroku

I dont have this problem when I run it locally.

i'm not hitting this when i run locally after upgrading to Yosemite. Ill investigate.

So, I found that the environment sometimes wasn't being exported into sub commands... When I was facing this error I just did

. .env.development
export DEVISE_SECRET_KEY
export RAILS_SECRET_KEY

then all my stuff worked again.

However, this was only happening when I had a newer version of stuff than was locked in the Gemfile.lock - did you run into this error after a bundle update?

I have this issue as well, I have made a pull request to fix the issue.

Also just as a note, we are not all running OSX and we need to make sure the app works without pow etc.
