Environment Vars Action

The Environment Vars Action lists, sets and deletes environment variables on a Quant Cloud environment.

Repository: quantcdn/quant-cloud-environment-var-action (latest release v1.0.2)

Inputs

Section titled “Inputs”
Input Required Default Description
api_key Yes Quant API key
organization Yes Organisation machine name
app_name Yes Application name
environment_name Yes Environment name
base_url No https://dashboard.quantcdn.io QuantGov: https://dash.quantgov.cloud. Do not add /api/v3
operation No list list, set, clear (delete every variable) or delete
replace No false set only: replace the whole list, removing variables that are not in the input
env_file No set: path to a .env file
json_vars No set: a JSON object of variables
variables No set: KEY=VALUE pairs, separated by newlines or commas
keys No delete: keys to delete, separated by newlines or commas

The variables input splits on commas as well as newlines, so a value that contains a comma is cut in two. Use json_vars for such values. When you use more than one source, they merge in the order env_file, json_vars, variables (the later value wins).

Outputs

Section titled “Outputs”
Output Description
variables JSON of all variables and their values (list)
count Number of variables (list)
updated_count Number of variables set (set)
deleted_count Number of variables deleted (clear, delete)
failed_count Number of variables that failed. A set with failures fails the step
