By default, Linux runners use the bash shell, so you must use the syntax $NAME. In this example, the workflow specifies ubuntu-latest. For more information on accessing variable values using contexts, see " Using contexts to access variable values."īecause runner environment variable interpolation is done after a workflow job is sent to a runner machine, you must use the appropriate syntax for the shell that's used on the runner. The values for these variables are set, and scoped, at the workflow, job, and step level respectively. The example above shows three custom variables being used as environment variables in an echo command: $DAY_OF_WEEK, $Greeting, and $First_Name. You can access env variable values using runner environment variables or using contexts. Today is $DAY_OF_WEEK!" env: First_Name: Mona So, the way to access environment variables isn’t so unique after all.YAML name: Greeting on variable day on: workflow_dispatch env: DAY_OF_WEEK: Monday jobs: greeting_job: runs-on: ubuntu-latest env: Greeting: Hello steps: - name: "Say Hello Mona it's Monday" run: echo "$Greeting $First_Name. Param(]$paths) if(($paths -ne $null) -and ($paths.length -ne 0)) PS:13 > get-content variable:ErrorActionPreference This is because the Environment provider shares something in common with several other providers – namely support for the *-Content set of core Cmdlets: Isn’t ‘Env:’ the environment provider? And specific environment variables are children of it?” The probing student might then ask, “Why can we access environment variables the same way we access normal variables.
Of course, it’s nice to be able to explain why.Īs you may know, the ‘$’ character is the way that we access variables in PowerShell.
It’s a little like dividing fractions – you can do it without ever knowing why it works, just that it works. However, that explicit documentation is actually a shortcut for a feature you may not know about. This is something that we normally just document explicitly: $env:Variable. In a recent comment, David asked how to access environment variables in PowerShell.
