I'm running Ruby 2.5.1 and Rails 5.2.0. I ran rails s -e production, and it gives this error:
/home/roy/.rbenv/versions/2.5.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/activesupport-5.2.0/lib/active_support/message_encryptor.rb:206:in `rescue in_decrypt': ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor::InvalidMessage
(ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor::InvalidMessage)
How do I do this properly?
EDIT: The same error appears whenever I try to edit the credentials file using
EDITOR="nano --wait" bin/rails credentials:edit
Also I realized that I didn't create a production database yet so I tried that using
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails db:reset
(I know db:reset is a bit redundant but it should work trying to create, migrate and seed a server)
Sadly I get the same kind of error (InvalidMessage error)
Unsupported rails environment for compass

Okay I got it working finally.
I simply deleted my master.key and credentials.yml.enc files and then ran
bin/rails credentials:edit
Which created new files. After that everything worked fine.
I don't really understand why it works though. Can anyone give a good explanation for this?
