Question

I’d like to use heroku_san to deploy multiple environments to heroku. I’m using dragonfly for image handling and S3 for storage. Usually you can add your key and secret for the storage using heroku config:add S3_KEY=… S3_SECRET=… directly.

So I’ve added these details to the heroku.yml file used by heroku_san:

staging:
  app: app-staging
  config: &default
    BUNDLE_WITHOUT: "development:test"
    S3_KEY: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 
    S3_SECRET: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    S3_BUCKET: app-staging

but when deploying I’m still getting:

rake aborted!
ENV variable 'S3_KEY' needs to be set - use
    heroku config:add S3_KEY=XXXXXXXXX

What am I missing here? Is there a better way then storing this information in a YML file?

Answer 1

A simple solution/work-around:

heroku config:add S3_KEY=XXX S3_SECRET=XXX --app app-staging

Any better ideas?
