this syntax will never work because it is not escaped and is therefore subject to pre-processing. See https://docs.drone.io/pipeline/environment/syntax/
you therefore need to do this:
pipeline:
docker:
image: docker
secrets: [ sonar_host ]
commands:
- - "echo ${SONAR_HOST}"
+ - echo $${SONAR_HOST}
or if you just want to inspect variables do this:
pipeline:
docker:
image: docker
secrets: [ sonar_host ]
commands:
- - "echo ${SONAR_HOST}"
+ - env
I really need to expose all my secrets to environment variable so my custom plugin can do the following:
all secrets are always exposed as environment variables without exception, when they are configured correctly. If a secret is not being exposed it is because of configuration error. We have documented common reasons for secrets not working here: http://docs.drone.io/secrets-not-working/
