I hate to ask a question that looks like it's been asked so many times before, but my situation seems to be different. I'm using nitrous.io as my development environment, and when I try to preview my app, I get this error message.
The trace is:
ERROR NoMethodError: undefined method symbolize_keys' for #<String:0x0000000476d9b0>secrets'

I imagine there's a problem with my secret key, but I can't tell what it is. I don't even know what other information to put here!
If anyone has any kind of an idea, I'd appreciate your input . . .
SPACE - your problem is a lack of a space char.
WRONG: secret_key_base:afcb44c
CORRECT: secret_key_base: afcb44c
check your config/secrets.yml, it should be something like that:
# Be sure to restart your server when you modify this file.
# Your secret key is used for verifying the integrity of signed cookies.
# If you change this key, all old signed cookies will become invalid!
# Make sure the secret is at least 30 characters and all random,
# no regular words or you'll be exposed to dictionary attacks.
# You can use `rake secret` to generate a secure secret key.
# Make sure the secrets in this file are kept private
# if you're sharing your code publicly.

# Do not keep production secrets in the repository,
# instead read values from the environment.
# production:
# secret_key_base: <%= ENV["SECRET_KEY_BASE"] %>
Also, if you need to generate new keys, do with the command: rake secret
So please, don't forget to add a space after ":".
