Netlify.toml context env variables do not apply to functions

There is a workaround :slight_smile: It’s to have a more intelligent build script that selects the appropriate variables to use during build. One can use contexts to choose a different build command, so something like this (untested) is what I might use:

  • in the UI, set $STAGING_ENDPOINT and $PRODUCTION_ENDPOINT to different values
  • in netlify.toml use build commands like this to incorporate them:
[context.staging]
  command = "./my-production-build-script.sh"
[context.production]
  command = "./my-staging-build-script.sh"

and then have those two scripts use separate environment variables:

in production:

#!/bin/sh
export ACCESS_TOKEN=$PROD_VALUE
<run your build>

and in staging:

#!/bin/sh
export ACCESS_TOKEN=$STAGING_VALUE
<run your build>

Another pattern using a makefile as shown here would work too: Selective Password Protection
