How to call circleCI environment variable in an Angular 2+ project?

Question

I have an angular project that has an api-keys.ts file that looks like this:

export var masterFirebaseConfig = {apiKey: $fireBaseApiKey, authDomain: \'dataJi         


        

Answer 1

Have you tried echo $fireBaseApiKey (without quotes)?

To troubleshoot CircleCI, it's useful to launch an image locally.

Example: the command below will launch a local ubuntu instance with an environment variable fireBaseApiKey set to asdf-asdf-asdf. Your local files will be mounted in /usr/src/app.

docker run -it -e fireBaseApiKey=asdf-asdf-asdf -v $PWD:/usr/src/app ubuntu bash

To check your environment variable, try:

echo $fireBaseApiKey

cd /usr/src/app and run your build script, step by step. I find it useful to troubleshoot builds failing for unknown reasons.
