feat: support env var for secret config of plugins like kafka-logger, elasticsearch-logger

[Zeeeeta]

Description

I am using helm to deploy a set of APISIX, Dashboard and etcd. I defined the extraEnvVars in the values.yaml and set K8s secret, and able to print the ENV VAR key/value in the apisix-gateway pod.

However, when I set the plugin config json following this guide, it is not able to use the ENV VAR value. https://apisix.apache.org/docs/apisix/terminology/secret/#use-environment-variables-to-manage-secrets

Sample of simplied config as below:

{
    "plugins": {
        "kafka-logger": {
            "brokers": [
                {
                    "sasl_config": {
                        "mechanism": "PLAIN",
                        "password": "$ENV://KAFKA_LOGGER_PW",
                        "user": "user"
                    }
                }
            ]
        },
        "elasticsearch-logger": {
            "auth": {
                "password": "$ENV://ELASTICSEARCH_LOGGER_PW",
                "username": "user"
            }
        }
    }
}

I also tried with the mocking plugin but with no luck, is the ENV VAR mechanism not working on every plugin?

Thanks for reply. Tested and worked on kafka-logger, but not work for elasticsearch-logger and openid-connect

Edit: not work on kafka-logger as well, it worked maybe due to cache
