Can I refer to env vars in wrangler.toml
Can I refer to env vars in wrangler.toml? I am setting up inngest with Cloudflare and need to set INNGEST_SIGNING_KEY, technically that's a "secret" but setting it via
wrangler secret put INNGEST_SIGNING_KEY doesn't make it available in the "environment variables", inngest sync fails and to put it in environment variables, I need to add it to wrangler.toml as "plain text" and deploy.17 Replies
Then I can't put wrangler.toml in version control anymore
So, can I do something like
INNGEST_SIGNING_KEY=$INNGEST_SIGNING_KEY in
wrangler.toml?secrets are just encrypted env vars
they're available just like env vars
where is it not available?
oh, if I do secret put, I don't see them in dashboard > settings > env vars
I was expecting the KEYs to be visible as plain text and value to not be visible
>where is it not available?
since I am not accessing it directly, I believe they aren't available in the runtime
they do show there yep
ah, okay, didn't show up for me
if you don't see them, that indicates a different problem
e.g. setting in the wrong environment or something
what's your wrangler.toml?
almost the default one, deploy is happening to the correct environment/project
literally just this
ok that'll be why
it's a pages project not worker
secret put is for workers
you'll need to set it in the dashboard
ah okay 🥹 ! thanks for the help, i totally wouldn't have figured this out
woud be so nice if wrangler can fail as it can detect that I am using put in a pages project
cc: @petebd this has been a common confusion since we added wrangler.toml - maybe we should add a warning here?
and point me to the correct place!
IMO this is a bug.. "wrangler secrets put" actually created a brand new worker from a wrangler.toml that is a pages project and put the secrets there! It should fail instead

I will file an issue tomorrow!
By the way for the original request, do you need to use .dev.vars file instead of .env?no, I just needed to place the secrets in runtime and I incorrectly thought secrets aren't env var (because they were going to a worker that I didn't know existed) so my issue is sorted, will create a ticket tomorrow and link here
This error message from Prisma is outdated correct? As we concluded in this thread, env vars/secrets are available in the edge runtime as normal environment variables
(since I am using pages, it is surely mislabeled as workers, but I want to know if this is true for workers or not)

Based on this, I think in workers secrets are not global env vars unlike pages!
Since this code is running in pages context, I think prisma is incorrectly judging it as worker and throwing early
In pages, env vars are available and I should not need to pass the datasource directly to Prisma (so this feels like a bug in Prisma)
AHA! soooooooooo in Remix template, if I have a route in functions/*, I can't run it locally but it can read env vars like normal and gets deployed successfully
BUT if I have a API route via Remix (app/routes/api.health.ts).. then it can't read the env like normal and has to come via loader + Cloudflare context env!
(I guess this is expected but pretty confusing! 😅)
and then whenever I need cloudflare env context, I need to use .dev.vars in addition to .env
don't know if there are plans to somehow unify .env / .dev.vars
