Using environment variables in fastlane step

[viktorbenei]

Hi @raphaelmina,

Thanks for asking this here!

@raphaelmina

I tried the following in my (local) fastfile and some variations but no success, I always the error message : “You have to either pass an ipa or an apk file to the Crashlytics action”

ApkPath = $BITRISE_APK_PATH

fastlane uses Ruby as it’s config language, and in Ruby you reference environment variables with ENV['ENV_KEY']. In the case above: ENV['BITRISE_APK_PATH']. Note: there’s no $ in the ID!

The $ENV_KEY / ${ENV_KEY} environment variable value reference style is common in script languages like Bash, which is the most common “glue” script language on Mac/Linux, that’s why we opted to use that style in inputs. But in general, these are just environment variables, so you just have to check how in the language of your choice you can reference env vars.

If you have any questions just let us know!
Happy Building!
