GitHub Action
Note: similar to Default Environment Variables,.env.test file should be included in your repository, but.env.test.local shouldn't, as.env.local are intended to be ignored through.gitignore. While running unit tests you can make sure to load your environment variables the same way Next.js does by leveraging the loadEnvConfig function from. To set the environmental variable using PowerShell you need to use the assignment operator (=). If the variable already exists then you can use the += operator to append the value, otherwise, a new environment variable will be created.

About
A Github Action to create a .env file with Github Secrets. This is useful whenyou are creating artifacts that need to contain secrets stored in GithubSecrets. This creates a file with variables that are defined in the Actionconfig.

and createsan envfile with them. These are defined in the with
section of the Actionconfig. Here is an example of it in use:

Name | Description |
---|---|
envkey_DEBUG , envkey_SOME_API_KEY | These values can be whatever, and they will be added to the envfile as DEBUG and SOME_API_KEY . |
envkey_SECRET_KEY | This one will use a secret stored in the repository's Github Secrets, and add it to the file as SECRET_KEY |
directory (Optional) | This key will set the directory in which you want to create env file. (Action will fail if the specified directory doesn't exist.) |
file_name (Optional) | Set the name of the output envfile. Defaults to .env |
