I came across an issue while attempting to use the orb iynere/compare-url@0.3.1(https://circleci.com/orbs/registry/orb/iynere/compare-url) that I was curious about the right way to fix.
The orb uses a parameter circle-token of type env_var_name. This prohibits it from being cast as a string, meaning you can’t set it to $CIRCLE_TOKEN and instead should set it to CIRCLE_TOKEN. But the problem here is that when its referenced from inside a command (like here) it replaces it as if it’s a string (CIRCLE_TOKEN instead of $CIRCLE_TOKEN).
Is this the expected behavior? I would assume that since it’s the env_var_name type, we could assume it is output as a reference to an ENV variable. Obviously a solution is to just put “$” in front of the <<parameters.circle-token>>, but what is the point of that specific type in that case? Thanks!
