express-stormpath not recognizing environment variables to initialize on Heroku

i have a simple web server, trying to use the npm-package 'express-stormpath' for basic user registration.

everything works fine locally - but consistently getting this error when i deploy to Heroku: 

 Error: apiKey.id is required.
 2015-10-23T00:23:52.603692+00:00 app[web.1]:     at new RequestExecutor           (/app/node_modules/express-stormpath/node_modules/stormpath/lib/ds/RequestExecutor.js:26:37)

i have tried every possible way i can find on the internet to configure this: 1) entirely environment vars, as laid out in https://docs.stormpath.com/nodejs/express/latest/configuration.html#environment-variables

2) a small, private config file in ./stormfront as laid out here : 'apiKey.id is required' error thrown when using express-stormpath with node.js

3) i've tried the following method, manually creating the apiKey object:

and nothing works on heroku. any tips?

Solution

  • We have a momentary bug in our Node SDK, please modify your configuration variables to use these new names:

    STORMPATH_CLIENT_APIKEY_ID
STORMPATH_CLIENT_APIKEY_SECRET
STORMPATH_APPLICATION_HREF

    We made a new release that accepts these new paramaters, but unfortunately it broke backwards compatibility with the old ones. We will relase a fix tomorrow, but you can fix the problem now by using the variables names. Our apologies for this problem!
