Heroku Compatibility #84
Description
I use the suggested guide to setup usage of env variables on Heroku
https://github.com/railsconfig/rails_config#working-with-heroku
I have my env variables on Heroku as following:
Settings.database.dbname: value
Settings.keys.aws_access_key_id: value
Settings.keys.aws_secret_access_key: value
Settings.keys.devise_secret_key: value
Settings.keys.directory: value
Settings.keys.region: value
Settings.keys.secret_key_base: valueI noticed that when it tries to run rake task, it would complain env variables not found, and doing some digging, I discovered those are not valid env variables and Rails would not pick them up properly.
I have pushed those env variables using the rake task provided bundle exec rake rails_config:heroku
Is this a valid bug or the expected behaviour? If its not a bug, what's the approach I should be taking.
Thanks in advance.

Found a possible work around

Giving it a shot and if works, submit a PR to merge

I have confirmed using this and the specified format of environment variables will allow the deployment to Heroku work properly, would be nice to have this as part of this gem

@cjlarose do you think it makes sense to add any of this to our source code?

I'll take a look. It's an old issue, so this might already be fixed, but we can at least improve our docs with recommendations.
