Using Environment Variables in Capability values #505

Closed asonee-omnipresence closed 4 years ago

asonee-omnipresence commented 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm looking to use Environment Variables in capability values (JSON structure) under the bot advanced settings. As per Screenshot1 below, I've a DIRECTLINE3_ACTIVITY_TEMPLATE which is required to set some additional data for every conv with the bot. It has 3 keys, accessToken, userId and userName. These 3 values are not constant and I want use Environment Variables here so it is easier to change the Env variables. I've created a Env variable 'ACCESS_TOKEN' but I was not able to use it in the JSON.

Describe the solution you'd like Is it already possible to use this?

It's not possible to use environment variables as part of a capability. It is possible to hand over capabilities from environment variables by using the BOTIUM_-prefix (BOTIUM_DIRECTLINE3_ACTIVITY_TEMPLATE) - see Botium Wiki. But I don't see how using environment variables as part of a capability could make your life easier here - you would have to manage them anyhow.

Thanks for the quick response. Yes, I was just wondering if env variables can be used. Like you said, I'd still have to manually change it.
