undefined method 'encrypt' for module ActiveRecord::Encryption

[duenni]

Hi,

had a fairly old version running and I am trying to upgrade to the latest version now.
Pulled the latest commit from main, bundle install, adjusted .bash_profile.
When I do bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=productionnow, I get this:

Migrating to EncryptAPIKey (20230301024452)
== 20230301024452 EncryptAPIKey: migrating ====================================
rake aborted!
StandardError: An error has occurred, this and all later migrations canceled: (StandardError)

Hey @duenni can you pull the latest main and try again? Looks like we didn't test out the change removing models from the migrations.

[duenni]

Thank you for the quick reply and the fix. 😄
Yes, it worked and all the tasks ran through.
Unfortunately, I run into another error now when trying to start the application with foreman start

I looked into the Procfile and did: bundle exec puma -p $PORT -C ./config/puma.rb
Which gave me:

^^^^^^^

@duenni I've made another update. If you didn't have a PORT env variable it would mess up running puma. You can try:

bundle exec puma -C ./config/puma.rb

Hi.

Thanks again, mockdeep!
bundle exec puma -C ./config/puma.rb works, however foreman start still terminates after a few seconds. 🤔

[mockdeep]

@duenni that's expected. There's a release task in the Procfile that runs the migrations and exits, which causes all of foreman to exit. So foreman won't really work with Stringer unless we add a Procfile.dev. We only need a single puma process, so you can run that instead.

[mockdeep]

I removed the release phase from the Procfile, so it should work now. I think that's probably less confusing.

[duenni]

Thanks for helping me out, really appreciated. 😃 👍
We are one step closer I think. I see this now:

What can I do?

[mockdeep]

Can you try running rails assets:precompile?

[mockdeep]

Okay, I just tried setting up a new instance locally in prod mode and running rails assets:precompile did the trick. Hopefully that's all that's left for you!

[mockdeep]

You may need to reboot the server afterwards.

[duenni]

That did the trick. Up and running again! 😎
Wohoo. 🥳

Just one question left: how can I update/reset my password? It won't let me login and I am not sure why, password should be correct I think.
Figured it out. Need to login with username stringer. When I try to update my username I receive a http error 500. Since I am the only user I can live with the username stringer. And this issue may be opened in a new ticket.

So, I'm good for now. 😄
Thanks for all your help and patience!

[mockdeep]

@duenni thanks for your persistence! If you can think of any minor updates to the docs that might have helped you along, I'd really appreciate a PR. I'm not sure why it won't let you change your username. I'm able to change it on my end. If you could open an issue with the stack trace from the logs I'll take a look.
