Yaml - environment variables and flavors

[LechKulesza]

Hey! I have a question - Is it possible to automate variable management in yaml? I have different environments and files for them - .en.development, .env.staging, .env.production. I put individual variables into groups in codemagic - development, staging, production and use them in individual workflows. The problem arises because codemagic itself does not enter these variables into the .env specific files, I have to do it "manually" in the script in yaml

echo "variable1=$variable1" << .env.development
echo "variable2=$variable2" << .env.development

And so for each variable.

Is there any way to automate this?

Hi @LechKulesza, what do you exactly mean by Codemagic itself does not enter these variables into the .env specific files ? You want Codemagic to edit your .env files in your project by inputting these env vars ?

If so, Codemagic does not have write access to your repo, therefore it won't make any changes to you repo.

Yes, there are ways to automate variable management in YAML. One way is to use a tool like envsubst to substitute environment variables in a YAML file. Another way is to use a tool like direnv to automatically load environment variables based on the current directory. These tools can help simplify the process of managing variables across different environments and files.
