SSM not applying ENV in rails console

[christianbradley]

Running latest Rails (6.x)

If I run rails console, the ENV vars are not applied from SSM. Seems to load OK when running rails server.

Here's my application.rb (first lines)

require_relative 'boot'

require "rails"
require 'psenv-rails'

I'm having trouble replicating this:

|-> PARAMETER_STORE_PATH=/psenv/test/ bundle exec rails console
Loading development environment (Rails 6.0.0)
irb(main):001:0> ENV['API_KEY']
=> "api_key_value"

It might be an issue with require order. I am testing using the sample app in https://github.com/atomaka/psenv/tree/master/spec/rails which does not explicitly load the psenv-rails gem and instead relies on bundler to do it.

@christianbradley Any chance you're using the spring application preloader? I have seen this issue with the spring gem:

|-> bundle exec rails console
Running via Spring preloader in process 91069
Loading development environment (Rails 6.0.0)
irb(main):001:0> ENV.fetch('API_KEY') # not here since PARAMETER_STORE_PATH not provided
Traceback (most recent call last):
        2: from (irb):1
        1: from (irb):1:in `fetch'
KeyError (key not found: "API_KEY")
irb(main):002:0> exit
|-> PARAMETER_STORE_PATH=/psenv/test/ bundle exec rails console

Spring stopped.

rails/spring#420 and rails/spring#490 appear to be relevant but unresolved issues.

Can you try using bundle exec spring stop and then loading the console (making sure to load PARAMETER_STORE_PATH before running any rails command either inline with the command or via export?
