We are doing a small backend project and the mate who developed the backend is not working with us anymore. We are stuck with this now, I understand this is related to security related? Trying to host the backend on Heroku and we get the below error log.

The stack trace tells all:

2022-04-20T14:27:01.428446+00:00 app[web.1]: from .api import start_api
2022-04-20T14:27:01.428446+00:00 app[web.1]: File "/app/cs673backend/api/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
2022-04-20T14:27:01.428447+00:00 app[web.1]: from .  import start as start_authen
2022-04-20T14:27:01.428447+00:00 app[web.1]: File "/app/cs673backend/api/authentication.py", line 10, in <module>
2022-04-20T14:27:01.428447+00:00 app[web.1]: PEPPER = environ["PEPPER"].encode("utf-8")

Here, it appears that on import of api, possibly during processing of __init__.py, there's an import of authentication, and while processing that,

PEPPER = environ["PEPPER"].encode("utf-8")

is encountered. Unfortunately,

2022-04-20T14:27:01.428447+00:00 app[web.1]: File "/app/.heroku/python/lib/python3.10/os.py", line 679, in __getitem__
2022-04-20T14:27:01.428447+00:00 app[web.1]: raise KeyError(key) from None
2022-04-20T14:27:01.428448+00:00 app[web.1]: KeyError: 'PEPPER'

That environment variable isn't set. Get that set (consult the Heroku docs) and try again.
