Cannot Access Circle's Own Environmental Variables

Build Environment

The $CIRCLE_SHA is nil in the config snippet below, what am I doing wrong?

  deploy-docker-image:
    docker:
      - image: docker:17.05.0-ce-git
    working_directory: ~/stellasourcer
    steps:
      - checkout
      - setup_remote_docker
      - deploy:
          name: Build docker image
          command: |
            docker build -t stellasourcer .
            docker tag stellasourcer ${PRIVATE_REGISTRY}/stellasourcer:${CIRCLE_SHA1}
      - deploy:
          name: Push docker image
          command: |
            docker login -u $NEXUS_USERNAME -p $NEXUS_PASSWORD $PRIVATE_REGISTRY
            docker push ${PRIVATE_REGISTRY}/stellasourcer:${CIRCLE_SHA1}

Thanks

I was not able to reproduce this.

Check out this build: https://circleci.com/gh/levlaz/sandbox/59

I tried all combinations:

          echo $CIRCLE_SHA1
          echo ${CIRCLE_SHA1}
          echo my_registry/stellasourcer:$CIRCLE_SHA1
          echo my_registry/stellasourcer:${CIRCLE_SHA1}

Are you by chance trying to test this locally?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
No I am not trying to test it locally. But I got it working another way, I think it is my poor understanding of circle’s config.
here’s the complete configuration. I used to have $CIRCLE_SHA1 where I now have cat .circle-sha :

I still appreciate if you could tell why the previous config didn’t work
Thanks
