Environment variables loaded from file

[mpuittinen]

Merged fix to master and published version 1.3.2 of the plugin.

Perhaps using this https://github.com/serverless/serverless/blob/master/lib/classes/Variables.js#L25 instead of the current would be better?

@nwhite89 thanks, I noticed this also couple days ago, I'll start working on this ASAP.

👍 that's great @laardee have been waiting to move to use this due to serverless-offline that's finally working and then came against builds going red and had no clue what was going on lol.

I am still having this issue in my project.

The environment variables are coming in fine when I use the following serverless test:
sls invoke local -f getPlaces -p test/event.json

However, when I use the mocha test, I don't get the environment variables.
sls invoke test

my secrets are kept in a file called secrets.dev.yml

in serverless.yml I have:

custom:
  secrets: ${file(secrets.${opt:stage, self:provider.stage}.yml)}

provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs4.3
  memorySize: 512 # optional, default is 1024
  timeout: 10 # optional, default is 6
  stage: dev
  region: us-east-1
  environment:
    API_KEY: ${self:custom.secrets.API_KEY}

I am using serverless 1.5.0 and serverless-mocha-plugin 1.3.2

@jloveland hi, is this setup something like yours https://github.com/laardee/sls-mocha-env-vars-test?

[jloveland]

@laardee thanks so much for the example! the problem was that I had the following syntax in my secrets.dev.yml:

API_KEY=secret-api-key

instead of:

API_KEY: secret-api-key

is this a bug since that syntax causes the test to show the env var as undefined, or is that invalid yaml? curious why it wouldn't fail with sls invoke local

[laardee]

@jloveland I've also done same mistake couple times when converting .env files to env.yml 😄 . Does the sls invoke local pass the environmental variable to the function or does it just fail silently?
