Recaptcha rails 5 error

I am having an error with recaptcha recognizing my keys in secrets.yml in production. In development, everything works fine!

I was able to upload successfully my site using capistrano and nginx, I placed the recaptcha keys in secrets.yml but I get the following error in rails logs.

I am trying to follow this tutorial https://github.com/ambethia/recaptcha, but it does not provide much detail about placing the keys in production.

I have tried many things, like adding export in front of the keys, placing them in different files, and checking secrets.yml for any syntax error. I have also made sure that I am using RECAPTHCA_SITE_KEY instead of RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY.

Also, I have placed my domain in recaptcha's site.

I would appreciate if you could help me solve the problem as well as provide some explanation of why I was having the error.

This is my secrets.yml in production:

production:
  secret_key_base: ...SECRET_KEY...
  RECAPTCHA_SITE_KEY: "...SITE_KEY..."
  RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY: "...PRIVATE_KEY..."

Thanks!

Solution

  • You need to configure recaptcha to pull the keys from your secrets.yml by adding an initializer file, config/initializers/recaptcha.rb:

    # config/initializers/recaptcha.rb
Recaptcha.configure do |config|
  config.site_key   = Rails.application.secrets[:RECAPTCHA_SITE_KEY]
  config.secret_key = Rails.application.secrets[:RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY]
  # Uncomment the following line if you are using a proxy server:
  # config.proxy = 'http://myproxy.com.au:8080'
end
