Rails: How to fix “Missing secret_key_base for 'production' environment”

Question

I simply can\'t get past the message:

Missing `secret_key_base` for \'production\' environment, set this string with `rails credentials:edit` (ArgumentError)         


        

Answer 1

config/credentials.yml.enc:

development:
  some_username: XXXXXXXXX
  some_password: YYYYYYYYY

test:
  some_username: XXXXXXXXX
  some_password: YYYYYYYYY

production:
  some_username: XXXXXXXXX
  some_password: YYYYYYYYY

secret_key_base: ZZZZZZZZZ
# `secret_key_base:` must NOT be indented !
# It must be put at the very start of a new line.
# There is also no need for it in development or test environment,
#   since there are no attacks to be expected.

Also make sure that you respect all YAML indention rules (i.e. 2 spaces only) as failing to do so my make loading of this file fail silently.
