Rails - Disabling secrets.yml for api

Question

There doesn't seem to be a configuration option for the secrets.yml check even if I am running Rails as a JSON API

Puma caught this error:

Missing secret_token and secret_key_base for 'production' environment, set these values in config/secrets.yml (RuntimeError)

Any clue what to do? I suppose I can generate a dummy secret_key_base and move on

are you sure the secrets.yml file is present in your production environment? This SO suggests git might have ignored it. — shivam

Okay - to be clear. I don't want to use the secrets.yml - this is a JSON api server — Edward

According to this issue the Rails GitHub project, there is supposed to be a way to disable it but it still isn't working.

This comment mentions how they're supposed to be disabled but that is currently not working.

config.require_master_key = false
config.read_encrypted_secrets = false

As far as I could find, your only option is to provide dummy values at the moment.
