How to upload a json file with secret keys to Heroku

Question

I\'m building a rails app that pulls data from Google Analytics using the Google Api Client Library for Ruby.

I\'m using OAuth2 and can get everything working in dev

Answer 1

By search github I found that someone had used a different method that used a JSON string as an argument rather than a file path: Google::APIClient::ClientSecrets.new(JSON.parse(ENV['GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRETS']))

This lets me wrap up the JSON into an ENV VAR. The world makes sense again.
