support init time parameters
rabbah opened this issue · 1 comments
At some point in the past we added support in OpenWhisk for init time parameters (these are “env” vars). See https://github.com/apache/openwhisk/blob/4babe39fd2dbcc900ccedb5a5e9561d301361205/tests/src/test/scala/actionContainers/BasicActionRunnerTests.scala#L125
For backward compatibility, runtimes weren’t required to implement this. The .net 3.1 runtime doesn’t override the required function so that behavior is skipped https://github.com/apache/openwhisk-runtime-dotnet/blob/master/tests/src/test/scala/actionContainers/DotNet3_1ActionContainerTests.scala
We should add this support to the runtime.
Chatting with @shawnallen85 he suggested a patch in proxy/Apache.OpenWhisk.Runtime.Common/Init.cs
around line 73.
if (message["env"] != null)
{
Dictionary<string, string> dictEnv = message["env"].ToObject<Dictionary<string, string>>();
foreach(var key in dictEnv) {
System.Envrionment.SetEnvironmentVariable(key, dictEnv[key]);
}
}
The current __OW_
context variables are set at runtime:
EDIT: I don't think we'll need to adapt the runtime export.
