I'm currently having issues with configuring Figaro for my Rails 4 application. Whenever I try to run RSpec or rake db:migrate, I encounter the following error:

method_missing': undefined methodaws_access_key' for {}:Figaro::Env

Here is the complete error message for reference:

Does anyone have any guidance on this? Thanks.

  • @sevenseacat: thank you for re-formatting Terminal output. – viewsatwork Mar 04 '15 at 01:15
  • Note that this error also occurs when I attempt to turn on the Rails server. – viewsatwork Mar 04 '15 at 01:19
  • Can you provide your application.yml with dummy data? – wolfemm Mar 04 '15 at 01:23
  • In the application that I cloned down from the Github repo, there is a file entitled "application.yml.example." Is that what you're referring to? – viewsatwork Mar 04 '15 at 01:34
  • does the repo have setup instructions? Normally you'd rename that file or create a copy of it as `application.yml` and put your actual environment variables in that. – wolfemm Mar 04 '15 at 02:18
  • It does, but there are no explicit instructions on setting up the ```application.yml``` file. – viewsatwork Mar 04 '15 at 02:28
  • In this case, would ```aws_access_key``` be an environment variable that I would set up here? If so, I'm not sure where I would obtain the information to set this variable equal to. – viewsatwork Mar 04 '15 at 02:29

I seemed to have solved the issue. In my "application.yml" file, I went ahead and provided these variables with pseudo values in order to get the undefined methods errors to stop.

For example:

aws_access_key: '123456789'
aws_access_secret: '123456789'
aws_bucket: '123456789'

Until Figaro 0.7, if you tried to access keys that didn't exist via Figaro.env.my_non_existant_key you would get an exception. The exception is misleading, because figaro uses Ruby's metaprogramming feature and can define methods at run time (so rather than having to call Figaro.env["my_key1"], you can call a method Figaro.env.my_key1).

Starting with Figaro 1.0, if you call Figaro.env.my_non_existant_key you will get nil as return value. If you want to ensure that the exception is raised when the key doesn't exist you can use new syntax with a 'bang' Figaro.env.my_non_existant_key!.
