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

I am getting the following error when I try to migrate my database or run my app in production: Devise.secret_key was not set. Please add the following to your Devise initializer:

config.secret_key = 'my secret key'

When I add this secret key, I get the following error:

NoMethodError: undefined method `secret_key=' for DeviseTokenAuth:Module

I am not sure why this error keeps occurring - note this issue only occurs in production.

check your config/secrets.yml file. most likely you'll need to set an environment variable for it.

I have a local secrets.yml file, so locally, I have no issue. But when I push the code, travis-ci cannot pass since there is no secrets.yml at github repository. Thus, I have to create a devise.rb with setup

config.secret_key = MyApp::Application.config.secret_key_base || ENV['SECRET_KEY_BASE']

since devise_token_auth.rb does not know config.secret_key

Set SecretKey

config/initializers/devise.rb
config.secret_key = ENV[ 'DEVISE_SECRET_KEY' ]
