environment variables are no longer accessible after moving to it's own Settings page

Marius TC 0

Hi,

After getting the environment variables to its own page in settings of a Static Web Application, I'm unable to access newly created environment variables, while for the older projects I'm unable to see the variables in the respective settings page. There is no more App Settings available. When trying to access it in the Configuration page, I get the following message: App Settings have moved to 'Environment Variables'. As you can see from the screenshot, I'm trying to set an REACT_APP_URL that points to the RestAPI URL, however retrieving that variable with process.env.REACT_APP_URL returns null. I've spent a few days on this searching for a solution, but I was not successful. Could anyone give me a hand, please?

Thank you.

@Marius TC Can you please try to pull the variables via a powershell cmdlet while we look into this further?

Connect to your Azure account by running the following command and following the prompts: Connect-AzAccount

Once you are connected, you can retrieve the environment variables of your Static Web Application by running the following command:
$resourceGroupName = "YourResourceGroupName" $webAppName = "YourWebAppName" $appSettings = Get-AzWebApp -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $webAppName | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SiteConfig.AppSettings

This will retrieve the environment variables as a hashtable, where the keys are the names of the variables and the values are their values. You can then access a specific environment variable by using its name as the key in the hashtable, like this: $appSettings["YourVariableName"]
