ENV variables in bash - why can't I access them in my Rails local setup?

I've set my Stripe Publishable and Secret Keys in my .bash_profile, and they show up fine in bash...

> echo $STRIPE_TEST_SECRET_KEY
sk_test_bunchofcharacters

but in my stripe.rb file, they aren't getting accessed.

Rails.configuration.stripe = {
    :publishable_key => ENV['STRIPE_TEST_PUBLISHABLE_KEY'],
    :secret_key => ENV['STRIPE_TEST_SECRET_KEY'],
}

Stripe.api_key = Rails.configuration.stripe[:secret_key]
byebug

What piece am I missing?

Everything works fine in production when I do heroku config and all that... it's just this local installation that is the trouble.

P.S. The variables don't show up in my rails console either.

Try stopping your server and then typing spring stop to stop Spring as well, and then start your server again. I think environment variables only get loaded when Spring starts.
