issue with Paperclip and Capistrano

Question

I have deployed a Rails 5 app on a Ubuntu 16.04 server. There is however a problem with the Paperclip configuration.

I'm using the Figaro gem to store my environment variables. My paperclip configuration looks like this:

config/environments/production.rb

config.paperclip_defaults = {
  storage: :s3,
  bucket: 'anthonycandaele',
  s3_region: 'eu-west-1',
  s3_credentials: {
    access_key_id: ENV.fetch("AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"),
    secret_access_key: ENV.fetch("AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"),
    s3_host_name: "s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com",
  }

}

this worked fine in development.

But when I try to deploy my app, I get a failure when I try to deploy with Capistrano:

log/capistrano.log

INFO [3b1c6af3] Running bundle exec rake assets:precompile as   [email protected]
3245  DEBUG [3b1c6af3] Command: cd   /opt/www/personalsite/releases/20170119174557 && ( export    RAILS_ENV="production" ; bundle exec rake assets:precompile )
3246  DEBUG [3b1c6af3] »·rake aborted!
3247  DEBUG [3b1c6af3] »·KeyError: key not found: "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"

So I tried to fix the problem with adjusting the Paperclip configuration:

config.paperclip_defaults = {
storage: :s3,
bucket: 'anthonycandaele',
s3_region: 'eu-west-1',
s3_credentials: {
  access_key_id: ENV["AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"],
  secret_access_key: ENV["AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"],
  s3_host_name: "s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com",
}

}

now I'm able to deploy with Capistrano, but when I try to upload a file with the app, I'm getting a missingcredentialserror with AWS:

Aws::Errors::MissingCredentialsError (unable to sign request without credentials set):

Has anyone experience with using Paperclip and storing the environment variables with Figaro?

Thanks for your help,

Anthony

I was able to fix the issue by setting a remote config/application.yml file
