I am currently working on a project where I have to make id and passwords encrypted, so I decided to use the gem called `rails-env-credentials` <https://github.com/sinsoku/rails-env-credentials>

It seemed that creating some files for development is fine, but I can't read the file on console or on web.

I guess it is either because I didn't set something to be set which I don't come up with or I am trying to get the value in a wrong way.

with the command like this rails `env_credentials:edit -e development`, I made the config/credentials/development.yml.enc which has encrypted string of this

```
  aws:
    access_key_id: 123
    secret_access_key: 345

```

And in the config/credentials/development.key file, something like this is automatically created.

```
<rails secret key>

```

I expected to get the value of the file by calling this.

```
Rails.application.credentials.aws

```

But I get `nil`.

and when I do `Rails.application.credentials` on console, I get something like this.

```
#<ActiveSupport::EncryptedConfiguration:0x000055882a4965f8 
@key_path=#<Pathname:config/master-development.key>, 
@content_path=#Pathname:config/credentials-development.yml.enc>, 
@env_key="RAILS_MASTER_KEY_DEVELOPMENT", 
@raise_if_missing_key=false, @config={}, @options={}>

```

Since there is no error, I got stack in the same place for days.
If you have any ideas please let me know.
I would really really appreciate it.

EDIT\*\*\*\*

in the encrypted file, there is something like this.

And I think I tried to get the value like the way to get value from hash but I can't get it correctly.

I tried something like

I am sorry but i have no ideas to fix this...

Do I have to do something with master.key?
