Environment variables are not available #83

Testing lambda function
trying to call process.env.variableName
getting undefined
printed out environment variables, they're not in the list
environment variables are accessible in regular serverless mocha tests, just not lambda functions.

Just ran into this myself. Are there any workarounds?

I am facing the same issue. Getting undefined for environment variables

Thana404 commented 5 years ago

I know this issue is a bit old, but I'm too facing it, but only for a specific use case. Basically, any environment variable defined in the "provider" can be retrieved properly using "process.env":

But any environment variable defined at a function level cannot.

provider
  environment:
    FOO: foo <-- I can get it in my tests with process.env
functions:
  MyFunction:
    environment:
      BAR: bar <-- I cannot

For now I duplicate this function's env. variables in a dedicated json file, but being able to not duplicate them (and risk out-of-sync issue) would be great.

I'm having this same issue with cf variables being not populated on sls version: 1.51.0.

// variable in serverless.yaml
custom:
  DeviceDatabase: ${cf.us-west-1:my-stack.DeviceDatabase}

As this issue is is from 2018 I don't know if this plugin is still in support

I did some testing and this seems to work as expected with latest version of the plugin and sls v1.58.0. I got both environment variables into the lambda.

I will try to test this scenario. I'm not sure when Cloudformation references are resolved or are they handled actually the Cloudformation deployment.

We currently don't have a much time to support these plugins, so we appreciate contributions to resolve the issues.
