I’ve read through the circle-ci documents and from what I can tell I should be able to use environment variables I set in the UI. Im testing my deployment (aws s3 cp) on a feature branch (not develop or master). I’ve defined the AWS keys in the environment variables UI section (not the aws keys section because I need to deploy to different accounts). I’ve tried to reference those variables many different ways (VAR, {VAR}, ENV[‘VAR’]. I’ve even tried echoing the values out to see if the variables can even be referenced. I cannot get the environment variables to resolve. The native circel env vars resolve. What am I doing wrong??
Here is my circle-ci.yml file. Thoughts?
