Figaro Gem on Rails

I'm struggling to set figaro up on my rails 4 app.

I have application.yml:

GMAIL_USERNAME_CFR: [email protected]
GMAIL_PW_PROD_CFR: bbb

GMAIL_USERNAME_PROD_WELCOME: [email protected]
GMAIL_PW_PROD_WELCOME: ddd

I have a production.rb file:

config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
    address:              'smtp.gmail.com',
    port:                 587,
    domain:               'gmail.com',
    user_name:            Figaro.env.GMAIL_USERNAME_CFR,
    password:             Figaro.env.GMAIL_PW_PROD_CFR,
    authentication:       'plain',
    enable_starttls_auto: true  }

In my user.rb I have 2 mailers set up. When I don't use figaro and just put the username and password directly in the production.rb file - these mailers work. Using Figaro, I get an authentication error.

My user.rb methods are:

 def send_admin_mail
         puts "the value is:" + Figaro.env.GMAIL_USERNAME_CFR.to_s
         AdminMailer.new_user_waiting_for_approval(self).deliver
       end

       def send_user_welcome_mail

         AdminMailer.new_user_waiting_for_access(self).deliver
       end

You can see that I tried to figure out the problem with the puts line in the first method above. The log puts 'the value is' and then does not put the username as a string.

My mailers are:

def new_user_waiting_for_approval(user)
    @user = user
    mail(to: "[email protected]", from: Figaro.env.GMAIL_USERNAME_CFR, 
    subject: "Registration Request #{user.first_name} #{user.last_name} <#{user.email}>")
  end

  def new_user_waiting_for_access(user)
    @user = user
    mail(to: user.email, from: "[email protected]", subject: "Welcome, #{user.first_name}")
  end

You can see above that I have tried to use figaro in the first mailer and the email address in the second email. Neither option works. I have also tried ENV[] instead of Figaro.env before the username and password.

My console shows the details correctly when I convert them to strings - except they are shown between "". I assume that's of no significance.

Can anyone see what I need to do to fix my figaro setup?

Thank you

Ok, my problem was I didn't load my environment variables from my application.yml to Heroku. Because the file is listed in .gitignore, it won't be commited to GitHub.

To load the environment variables to Heroku, do figaro heroku:set -e production. As it's explained here.

You don't need to call Figaro.env for it to read your application.yml file. Just grab the environment variables using standard rails.

For example, change:

Figaro.env.GMAIL_USERNAME_CFR

To:

ENV['GMAIL_USERNAME_CFR']

Change all instances of Figaro.env to this format.

Also, make the variables in your application.yml file set to strings.

GMAIL_USERNAME_CFR: "[email protected]"
GMAIL_PW_PROD_CFR: "bbb"

GMAIL_USERNAME_PROD_WELCOME: "[email protected]"
GMAIL_PW_PROD_WELCOME: "ddd"
