Error attempting to mix deps.get

[nelsonic]

I attempted to run mix deps.get on localhost and got the following error:

I'm re-reading the Docs (README) to see if I "missed a step" ...

[SimonLab]

see: https://github.com/dwyl/github-backup#run-a-github-backup-server section,
To load the environment variables we need to run source .env before running mix deps.get to allow the application to compile

[nelsonic]

@SimonLab yeah, that's what I thought ... thanks. 👍

[Cleop]

@nelsonic - is there anything from this that you feel could be changed in the readme to make it better or can this issue now be closed?

When attempting to run

mix phx.gen.secret

Got:

code/github-backup $ mix phx.gen.secret
** (Mix.Config.LoadError) could not load config config/config.exs
    ** (KeyError) key "SECRET_KEY_BASE" not found in: %{"APP_HOST" => "localhost", "Apple_PubSub_Socket_Render" => "/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.BggU0HEYKV/Render", "BINDIR" => "/usr/local/Cellar/erlang/20.2.2/lib/erlang/erts-9.2/bin", "COLORFGBG" => "15;0", "COLORTERM" => "truecolor", "EMU" => "beam", "HOME" => "/Users/Admin", "ITERM_PROFILE" => "Default", "ITERM_SESSION_ID" => "w0t0p0:695008F9-F3DD-4D60-A3D4-9593BF5BEC00", "LANG" => "en_GB.UTF-8", "LOGNAME" => "Admin", "PATH" => "/usr/local/Cellar/erlang/20.2.2/lib/erlang/erts-9.2/bin:/usr/local/Cellar/erlang/20.2.2/lib/erlang/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin", "PROGNAME" => "erl", "PWD" => "/code/github-backup", "ROOTDIR" => "/usr/local/Cellar/erlang/20.2.2/lib/erlang", "SHELL" => "/bin/bash", "SHLVL" => "1", "SSH_AUTH_SOCK" => "/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.lTUjUwjj5X/Listeners", "TERM" => "xterm-256color", "TERM_PROGRAM" => "iTerm.app", "TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION" => "3.1.5", "TERM_SESSION_ID" => "w0t0p0:695008F9-F3DD-4D60-A3D4-9593BF5BEC00", "TMPDIR" => "/var/folders/0m/hlrnvx6n5qv001qcm6x9ny440000gn/T/", "USER" => "Admin", "XPC_FLAGS" => "0x0", "XPC_SERVICE_NAME" => "0", "__CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING" => "0x1F5:0x0:0x2"}

Ironically i'm getting a KeyError while trying to generate my key ... 🙄
In your terminal just paste the following:

export SECRET_KEY_BASE=WhgLiQCoxn4A/WNY/i5Ll5PxeQc0HOafjb+m1Xxk4ALsrX+cdEvmaTb987654321

obvs if you're running this in "production" you would use a "real" randomly generated key.

I ended up running the mix phx.gen.secret in a different project
because github-backup would not let me ... 🐔 v.s 🥚 ... 😕

[nelsonic]

after setting up the app: https://github.com/apps/gitbu
exporting all the suggested environment variables,
I attempted to run the tests on localhost with mix test

but sadly the S3 test unhappy:

  1) test GET / (AppWeb.PageControllerTest)
     test/app_web/controllers/page_controller_test.exs:4
     ** (UndefinedFunctionError) function AppWeb.AWS.S3.get_files_bucket/0 is undefined or private

I have exported the AWS/S3 specific environment variables in my .env file:

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=AKIAI...
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=yKWnRy...
export S3_BUCKET_NAME=dwyl-github-backup

@SimonLab / @Cleop what else do I need to make this work...? 🤔

[nelsonic]

I did a git clone of master into a separate directory
and using the environment variables defined previously, the tests pass on localhost:

So I think I'm just going to "replay" my "documentation" changes onto a fresh copy of master and re-open the PR. 👍

[Cleop]

@SimonLab - is this branch still needed? Haven't we completed this functionality elsewhere?

[nelsonic]

@Cleop I have updated the issue title and description to reflect the fact that these issues were present for me regardless of the branch.
Meanwhile I have resolved the issue(s) and prepared a PR: #64
