Config not clear when starting new project undefined method `public_key=' for #<Recaptcha::Configuration

[alexmc6]

Firstly I am using the edge branch as I wanted the latest version of rails. Unfortunately my app was intended for rails v5. I had to downgrade the rails version in the Gemfile (and a few other things) down to 4.2

Now unfortunately I get this error on rake db:migrate. I assume it is due to poor configuration.

So - I dont know whether recaptcha is really optional. This is what my config/application_config.rb looks like. I would appreciate it if someone can give me their working version.

configatron.configure_from_hash(
  :community_name => "Socon",

  # It seems like Recaptcha is enabled by default - so it needs to be set up
  :allow_anonymous_commenting => false,
  :allow_anonymous_forum_posting => false,
  :require_captcha_on_signup => false,

  :recaptcha_pub_key => '6LcYIw0UAAAAAE9_GNKtxKdqTa6SjIglpip3ijzQ',
  :recaptcha_priv_key => 'XXXXXREDACTEDXXXXX'

  #You can also require ReCaptcha on signup (to prevent automated signups) by adding this in your application_config.rb (you'll still need to add your ReCaptcha keys):
  # :require_captcha_on_signup => true
)

Any suggestions (or any info I should be supplying to help diagnose the problem?)

I'm also having this same issue, with a clean, newly generated app

[nikhilthombare]

Yes I had same issue when I run rake db:migrate its give me same error. My rails -v ( 4.1.0 ) and ruby -v ( 2.0.0 ). Can anyone have solution for that issue?

Hello,

This problem lies in recaptcha gem. They have recently renamed public_key -> site_key and private_key -> secret_key

see the configuration file https://github.com/ambethia/recaptcha/blob/56679316e7731b596c3089768cad8021c8170cce/lib/recaptcha/configuration.rb

if you change ..gems/community_engine-3.2.0/config/initializers/recaptcha_constants.rb file to reflect new constants it will work.

HTH.
