Authenticating with service account (email & key) in fog-google

I keep getting Missing required arguments: google_storage_access_key_id, google_storage_secret_access_key. I understand that I am supposed to put my credential "in a /.fog" file, but I don't quite understand how that's supposed to work in the context of a Rails app. Can someone elaborate on how to configure this? I have tried passing the settings in an initializer (as suggested here), but they don't seem to get recognized in the validate_options method.

config/initializers/fog.rb GoogleStorage = Fog::Storage.new( provider: 'Google', google_project: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx', google_client_email: '[email protected]', google_key_location: 'private/google-cloud-service-key.p12' )

Turns out this is not currently possible with the fog-google gem. See this Github issue. I will update this answer when the gem is updated to handle this authentication strategy.

Use the Figaro Gem instead to handle any ENV vars you want to store and user throughout the app securely.

Add Figaro to your Gemfile and bundle install:

gem "figaro"

Figaro installation is easy:

$ bundle exec figaro install

This creates a commented config/application.yml file and adds it to your .gitignore. Add your own configuration to this file and you're done!

Example application.yml File

# config/application.yml

GOOGLE_ID: "ID"
GOOGLE_KEY: "KEY"

THEN config/initializers/fog.rb 

GoogleStorage = Fog::Storage.new(
  provider: 'Google',
  google_project: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx',
  google_client_email: '[email protected]',
  google_key_location: Rails.root.join('private','google-cloud-service-key.p12'),
  google_storage_secret_access_key_id: ENV["GOOGLE_ID"],
  google_storage_secret_access_key: ENV["GOOGLE_KEY"]
)
