Support for `provider.environment` in `serverless.yml`

[cnuss]

I noticed that provider.environment: {} wasn't being pushed down to scripts.

This PR will allow scripts to utilize environment variables defined in provider.environment.

hi @weixu365 ! let me know what you think of this PR! thank you!

hi @weixu365 could you have a look at this PR? thank you!

Just realise that the ecmaVersion need to be changed in eslint config for the optional chaining operator:

parserOptions:
  ecmaVersion: 2020

hi @weixu365 for my use case I have a hook on offline:start which runs database migrations at startup. the table name is dynamic based on Serverless stage and that logic is done using Serverless interpolation on provider.environment, e.g.

serverless.yml

provider:
  environment:
    TABLE_NAME: some-table-${opt:stage, "development"}

this allows TABLE_NAME to be available for the migration script during the hook

Can you change the ecmaVersion to 2020 in .eslintrc file? it's required by the optional chaining operator:

parserOptions:
  ecmaVersion: 2020

@weixu365 done! could you allow the unit tests to run?

@weixu365 another question... should we create a custom.scriptable.environment[] so that this feature is opt-in?

custom:
  scriptable:
    environment:
      - process # the default
      # opt in for this feature:
      # - serverless
    hooks:
      serverless:offline: echo "env is $(env)"

Or alternatively, bump the major version on this project since this fundamentally changes how "environment" gets set when a process runs?

[cnuss]

I'll fix the codecov failure asap

[weixu365]

I think it should be compatible with the current version if we change the code to

      ...(this.serverless?.service?.provider?.environment || {}),
      ...(process.env || {}),

It's also a good idea to use the opt-in feature which explicitly set the environment for the plugin

environment:

• process # the default

  opt in for this feature:

  - serverless
