Use --var flag for deploy command

Hi, I want to define a namespace name dynamically. In my

project.garden.yml

I have :

Copy code

Yaml
variables:
  source-branch: ${lower(slice(camelCase(git.branch), 0, 32))}
environments:
  - name: preview
    defaultNamespace: pr-${var.source-branch}

When I run the command

garden deploy --env preview --var source-branch=2215

the namespace name uses the default variable, not the one defined in the command. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help

Hi @plain-pizza-51556. I did some investigation and it looks like this is indeed a bug. There must be something wrong with the order of resolving the templates when parsing the environment configuration. I tried a very similar setup and if you try to run

garden get config

you'll see, under the

variable

the correct value (passed via the CLI) but the

defaultNamespace

somehows seems to get the default one.

It would be very helpful if you could open a GitHub issue so we can assign it to someone.

In the meantime, I tested that this configuration works:

Copy code

variables:
  source-branch: ${local.env.SOURCE_BRANCH_OVERRIDE || lower(slice(camelCase(git.branch), 0, 32))}
environments:
  - name: preview
    defaultNamespace: pr-${var.source-branch}

And you could run something like:

Copy code

SOURCE_BRANCH_OVERRIDE=2215 garden deploy --env preview

instead.

Sorry for the inconvenience, I hope this helps until we get it fixed
