Sentry error: Missing Active Storage service name

[nickcharlton]

Since I merged in #2977, we've had just the one error which is nice. But it's a tricky one:

RuntimeError
Missing Active Storage service name. Specify Active Storage service name for config.active_storage.service in config/environments/production.rb (RuntimeError)

It's firing on every data reset (we reseed daily to avoid issues).

In config/storage.yml, we don't configure anything: https://github.com/thoughtbot/administrate/blob/main/spec/example_app/config/storage.yml

But what should we do? Configure an S3 bucket for demo purposes?

(It's not public information, and it's tricky to add people, but for reference a link to the Sentry issue: https://thoughtbot-ui.sentry.io/issues/7339850609/)

I'm confused; where does this come from? I had a look at ActiveStorage's code. From what I can see, this should only trigger if there's an attachment anywhere, which I don't think there is in the example app.

What does the daily reseed do? Is it only db:reset?

[nickcharlton]

The error timing correlates with when we've got a Heroku Scheduler job to reset the content on the prerelease app. We've not deployed the main one yet, but it'll be the same problem when we do.

The scheduler runs daily at 12:00 AM UTC and runs rake db:seed.

[pablobm]

Would you be able to share the backtrace? Looking again at the code, and this should only trigger if there's an attachment 🤷

We do have some images, but I wouldn't have expected reseeding to throw an error, given the images still work. That said, maybe we should just configure an S3 bucket? That's what it's using anyway: https://administrate-demo-prerelease.herokuapp.com/admin/products/blokus

[pablobm]

Ah... It's ActionText. We don't use ActiveStorage directly, but our Product.has_rich_text :banner, which indirectly has_many_attached :embeds.

So I guess we need to configure the ActionStorage stuff. Unless attachments in ActionText can be disabled? Doesn't look like it by looking at the linked code.

[nickcharlton]

Oh! Good spot. Yeah, a quick search agrees, certainly not in a way that's helpful for us.

I'll take a look at configuring some S3 credentials, which is always a pain but probably the easiest solution.
