issue with Paperclip and Capistrano

Question

I have deployed a Rails 5 app on a Ubuntu 16.04 server. There is however a problem with the Paperclip configuration.

I'm using the Figaro gem to store my environment variables. My paperclip configuration looks like this:

config/environments/production.rb

config.paperclip_defaults = {
  storage: :s3,
  bucket: 'anthonycandaele',
  s3_region: 'eu-west-1',
  s3_credentials: {
    access_key_id: ENV.fetch("AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"),
    secret_access_key: ENV.fetch("AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"),
    s3_host_name: "s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com",
  }

}

this worked fine in development.

But when I try to deploy my app, I get a failure when I try to deploy with Capistrano:

log/capistrano.log

INFO [3b1c6af3] Running bundle exec rake assets:precompile as   deploy@146.185.164.246
3245  DEBUG [3b1c6af3] Command: cd   /opt/www/personalsite/releases/20170119174557 && ( export    RAILS_ENV="production" ; bundle exec rake assets:precompile )
3246  DEBUG [3b1c6af3] »·rake aborted!
3247  DEBUG [3b1c6af3] »·KeyError: key not found: "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"

So I tried to fix the problem with adjusting the Paperclip configuration:

config.paperclip_defaults = {
storage: :s3,
bucket: 'anthonycandaele',
s3_region: 'eu-west-1',
s3_credentials: {
  access_key_id: ENV["AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"],
  secret_access_key: ENV["AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"],
  s3_host_name: "s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com",
}

}

now I'm able to deploy with Capistrano, but when I try to upload a file with the app, I'm getting a missingcredentialserror with AWS:

Aws::Errors::MissingCredentialsError (unable to sign request without credentials set):

Has anyone experience with using Paperclip and storing the environment variables with Figaro?

Thanks for your help,

My guess is that the secrets are not actually set in the environment when you deploy. Could you try adding `puts ENV["AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"]` to your production.rb to see if anything gets dumped out? — will_in_wi, Jan 20 '17 at 05:00
you are right, I puts the AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY on the development server and I got the value back. But when I puts the AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY on the production server, I get no value back. How can I solve this? — Toontje, Jan 20 '17 at 18:00
