How do environment variables get cached?

Build Environment

Are environment variables cached or are they refreshed every time from the project env vars and the context?

  1. Workflow runs triggered by a new commit - gets up to date env vars
  2. Workflow is rerun from Pipelines page
  3. Single job is rerun from workflow page

What happens in these circumstances?

As I understand it, the environment variables are not persisted across operations, but injected when they are called.

Is there something specific you’re trying to solve or just curious?

Thanks. I was rerunning a build and the expected change weren’t taking effect - I wanted to be sure I was getting a fresh set on each iteration of the job.
