With this garden.yml :

kind: Build
name: app
type: container
variables:
  $merge: ${var.commonConf.app.env}
spec:
  dockerfile: Dockerfile

And in the DockerFile with this command :

RUN printenv

I don't see my variables , why and what can I do ?, thank you in advance

Hi @plain-pizza-51556 , in order to pass variables to a docker build so they are available during build it is best to use the

ARG

instruction see https://docs.docker.com/reference/dockerfile/#arg. You can pass these in with garden via

spec.buildArgs

see https://docs.garden.io/reference/action-types/build/container#spec.buildargs Does that help?

thank you ! Yes i think i can play with it
