Relevant Rules

Description

Im struggling to set any env vars for my c-r-a app when building with rules_nodejs

Describe the solution you'd like

To be able to set env vars for an app - preferably by adding an .env file into the runtime or by setting env vars

Describe alternatives you've considered

I tried adding an .env file to _RUNTIME_DEPS but it seems to be ignored

I tried (not exhaustively) to set relevant vars via action_env - no dice

I tried setting env to the react_scripts rule, but it seems to be ignored

https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs/blob/stable/examples/create-react-app/BUILD.bazel#L59 shows how to pass an environment variable to react-scripts. What makes you think your environment variable "seems to be ignored"? Would need more repro info to help with that.

i tried passing through the host so that i could access from outside of a container (ie not listen on localhost)

i may not have tested this very thoroughly though, so i can check again when i am next working on this code
