Hey, I’m experiencing an odd issue where I’m trying to read environment variables in next.config.js. When I deploy to fly locally it works fine, but when deploying from a pipeline it does not. The env variables are defined in the fly toml config file. (Tried both the [env] and the [build.args] sections).
Any ideas on what I might be missing?
How are you deploying your app? If, for example, you’re using a Dockerfile and a remote builder, you’ll need to make sure that the vars from the[build.args] section are somehow passed to your build process via env vars - they won’t make it there automatically.
If you had some build arg like MY_VAR, you would want to have something like this in the dockerfile:
ARG MY_VAR
ENV MY_VAR=${MY_VAR}
RUN npm run build
If you do this, you’d call fly deploy with fly deploy --remote-only --build-arg MY_VAR=test
Super helpful, thank you!
