Sorry if this is a duplicate. I tried to find a similar question but couldn't. Here's the breakdown:
I need to use a secret key with a package I'm building and I don't want to publish it so I'm trying to set it as a local bash environment variable. In my .bashrc file I have this:
# Obviously this is not the REAL key, just an example
MY_KEY="1111111111111111"
And then in my Gulpfile, I have a task called "dev". For simplicity sake, let's say it looks like this:
gulp.task('dev', function () {
console.log(process.env.SECRET_KEY);
});
Then, in order to get the secret key into the environment, I have the following in my package.json:
"scripts": {
"start": "SECRET_KEY=$MY_KEY gulp dev"
}
So the problem is, when I run the command npm start
, my gulp task logs undefined
for the secret key. But when I manually run the command SECRET_KEY=$MY_KEY gulp dev
, the gulp task logs 1111111111111111
. So, for some reason, npm start
is not correctly accessing my bash variable and passing it into the Node environment. Is there a way to make this work?
This just creates a shell variable , not an environment variable:
MY_KEY="1111111111111111"
To export that shell variable into the environment:
export MY_KEY
