For my testing framework I'm using dotenv to read and initialize environment variables for different test environments. Now I want to use a specific environment variable value as a part of the value and the name of another environment variables.
So, I set the env var export INSTANCE=1 before initializing the env file with dotenv.
This is my env file with all the env vars I want to initialize with dotenv:
# INSTANCE as part of env var value
MY_DOMAIN="http://mypage/"$INSTANCE""
# INSTANCE as part of env var name
SUBDOMAIN"$INSTANCE"="/mysubdomain"
And this metric is also not working:
# INSTANCE as part of env var value
MY_DOMAIN=http://mypage/${INSTANCE}
# INSTANCE as part of env var name
SUBDOMAIN${INSTANCE}=/mysubdomain
This is possible doing it via bash with
export MY_DOMAIN="http://mypage/"$INSTANCE"" SUBDOMAIN"$INSTANCE"="/mysubdomain"
echo $MY_DOMAIN
http://mypage/1
echo $SUBDOMAIN1
/mysubdomain
But using dotenv it is not working for me. I have the following code:
const dotenv = require("dotenv");
var result = dotenv.config({ path: '/path/to/my/env/file' });
console.log(result.parsed);
The console.log produces the following result:
{
MY_DOMAIN:'http://mypage/"$INSTANCE"'
}
So, the env var INSTANCE can not be used, the value will be ignored. Are there any solution to solve my issue?
