Heroku ArgumentError ( is not a recognized provider)

Question

I am trying to upload profile pictures to Google Cloud using Paperclip and Fog gems. so far this what I have

In my Gemfile

gem "paperclip", git: "git://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip.git"
gem 'fog'

In my user model

has_attached_file   :avatar,
                      styles: {:big => "200x200>", thumb: "50x50>"},
                      storage: :fog,
                      fog_credentials: "#{Rails.root}/config/gce.yml",
                      fog_directory: "google-bucket-name"

  validates_attachment_content_type :avatar, content_type: /\Aimage\/.*\Z/

When I run this locally, I am able to upload it fine over to google. However, when I try to do this on Heroku, I am getting this error

Not sure what's going on.

Is there a secret key needed for the fog? – Assignation

It's uploading fine, when I try locally. It's only happening on Heroku – Jacquesjacquet

That does not answer my question... – Assignation

I am not sure if a secret key is needed for the fog. – Jacquesjacquet

Answer 1

After a lot of debugging, turns out my fog_credentials hash is not going through as expected on heroku. Instead of passing "#{Rails.root}/config/gce.yml", I am doing this.

has_attached_file   :avatar,
                      styles: {:big => "200x200>", thumb: "50x50>"},
                      storage: :fog,
                      fog_credentials: { aws_access_key_id: '<your_access_id>'
                                         aws_secret_access_key: '<your secret>'
                                         provider: 'Google' },
                      fog_directory: "google-bucket-name"

  validates_attachment_content_type :avatar, content_type: /\Aimage\/.*\Z/

Env variables will work. That's how I set up finally. – Jacquesjacquet
