Alert: Environment variable POLOLENDER_APIKEY is invalid.

[Shoananas]

Hello,

Getting the following error in the logs using Heroku to run the app:

heroku/web.1:  Starting process with command `node server.js` 
app/web.1: notice: Environment file doesn't exist: /app/.env 
app/web.1: alert: Environment variable POLOLENDER_APIKEY  is invalid. Please see documentation at https://github.com/dutu/poloLender/ 
app/web.1: alert: Application will now exit. Correct the environment variable POLOLENDER_APIKEY and start the application again 
heroku/web.1:  Process exited with status 1 

I used the following format to enter the API Key: heroku config:set POLOLENDER_APIKEY='{"key":"MY-KEY","secret":"MY-SECRET-KEY"}'

I double checked the key with my polo account and I am 100% positive I am using the right one.

I didn't do the "poloLender Pro configuration" from your readme because it looks like it is for local setup (or maybe I'm wrong but since I already defined the config vars on Heroku I don't think I should do it again). It is my first time running your app.

Thank you for your help

You'd need to escape the " character in heroku config:set commands like this:

heroku config:set POLOLENDER_APIKEY={\"key\":\"MY-KEY\",\"secret\":\"MY-SECRET-KEY\"}

(I have update the README file as well)

Let me know if it works

I still have the error:

heroku/web.1:  Starting process with command `node server.js` 
app/web.1:  notice: Environment file doesn't exist: /app/.env 
app/web.1:  alert: Environment variable POLOLENDER_APIKEY  is invalid. Please see documentation at https://github.com/dutu/poloLender/ 
app/web.1:  alert: Application will now exit. Correct the environment variable POLOLENDER_APIKEY and start the application again 
heroku/web.1:  State changed from starting to crashed 
heroku/web.1:  Process exited with status 1

Please don't forget to remove the ' character.

can you please let me know the heroku config:set command you are using and also pls run heroku config to display the config vars after you have done set

[Shoananas]

Yes, the issue was the ' character that I had to remove. I don't know if the escaping also helped but I kept it. I'll update other vars without the ' too. Thank you :)
