Pass environment variables into the action script

[victor-shelepen]

There is integration testing with other services. There is a need to pass environment variables to the testing script. I've not found such functionality in your documentation. Could you help me?

Hello @victor-shelepen 👋,

I haven't tested it, but I think it should work the same way, as for ordinary GitHub workflow:

name: 'coverage'
on:
    pull_request:
        branches:
            - master
            - main
jobs:
    coverage:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
        steps:
            - uses: actions/checkout@v3
            - uses: ArtiomTr/jest-coverage-report-action@v2
              env:
                  API_KEY: 123456

Let me know, if it works. Also, more documentation could be found here: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/variables

Your suggestion is logical I thought about it. But it is the action and it does not support to not disrupt the inside behavior. Your approach is absent in the documentation. At first, I override the plugin configuration

test-script: VAR_1=A npm test

But There were too many parameters. Now I generate .env inside and use the library dotenv to load the configuration.

- name: Environment
  env:
    testScript: |
      FIREBASE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_BASE64=${{ secrets.FIREBASE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_BASE64 }}
      ...
  run: echo "${{env.testScript}}" > .env

Can you please provide the full action.yaml file? Or some minimal reproduction sample, if it is possible? I'll test some and add them to the documentation

Thank you. But I do not use the environment variable during testing at all. Now everything is mocked or in-memory emulation solutions are used.
