[FIXED] How to manually set ENV variables when running rails console

Issue

Is there a way to pass in env variables when running rails console? I have a rails app running on a server and when I try to ssh in and run rails console for debugging it says it is missing the master key to decrypt the credentials. But the master key is set in the env variables as RAILS_MASTER_KEY and is definitely correct and working because the app is working normally and able to access the credentials.

Is there a way to run something like:

RAILS_MASTER_KEY=<master_key> rails console

Solution

From your console.

env RAILS_MASTER_KEY="..." rails c
