  • Reproducibility: Are you reporting a bug others will be able to reproduce and not asking a question. If you're unsure or want to ask a question, do so on https://community.boltops.com
  • Code sample: Have you put together a code sample to reproduce the issue and make it available? Code samples help speed up fixes dramatically. If it's an easily reproducible issue, then code samples are not needed. If you're unsure, please include a code sample.

My Environment

Software Version
Operating System *Nix
Jets ~> 5.0.10
Ruby 3.2.2

Dotenv recently got updated to 3.0.0 and because the version in Jets is not pinned, it upgrades to 3.0.0 which doesn't seem to work well with Jets. I am currently using the parameter store with MY_VARIABLE=SSM

Expected Behaviour

.env.[environment] should update environment variables in the generated lambdas

Current Behavior

Environment variables specified in .env.[environment] are not created

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

  • $ bundle update
  • Deploy Jets App with v5.0.10

Code Sample

Solution Suggestion

  • Pin dotenv: 'dotenv', '~> 2.8.1'

What can we do about this until it's resolved? What Jets version is the last one where variables are copied to server?
edit: Maybe there is another way of pushing ENV?

I'm having a similar issue, related to the dotenv update (version 3.1.0). Basically the env files are not correctly overwriting, it's keeping the first value set, eg
.env.development -> FOO=123
.env.development.local -> FOO=abc

After loading, I have ENV['FOO'] -> 123 (first value set).

My environment
Ruby 3.2.2
Jets version: 4.0.10
dotenv version: 3.1.0

I "fixed" it by specifying the dotenv version in the project's Gemfile, so it loads the older version before Jets, eg

gem 'dotenv', '~> 2.8.1'
gem "jets", "~> 4.0.3"

My issue is more like the OP mentioned - I don't get any values in production. I moved variables from .env.production to .env, and when I check them out through JETS_ENV=production jets console I can see them, but in the actual app they are not there.
I first noticed that I can't access ENV value in one of the initializers, but when I removed it from there, I just got an error "Missing secret_key_base for 'production' environment, set this string with bin/jets credentials:edit".
So it appears no ENV values are getting copied and I have no clue if it's the same issue as this one.

I tried deploying with Dotenv 3.1.0 and I see the same (or similar) issue; my Lambdas only get these ENV values: JETS_AWS_ACCOUNT, JETS_ENV, and JETS_STAGE.

Adding gem 'dotenv', '~> 2.8.1' to my project Gemfile fixes it (all ENV values come back).

I haven't dug deeper into why (no time), but definitely an issue with Dotenv >= 3.

Thank you – was wondering why my mailers weren't sending all of the sudden.

But dotenv 2.8.1 needs Jets < 5 if I'm not wrong. This means that Jets 5 is unavailable at this time?

Jets doesn't specify dotenv version (https://github.com/rubyonjets/jets/blob/master/jets.gemspec). I did a quick test and dotenv 2.8.1 is working with Jets 5. My Gemfile is

source "https://rubygems.org"

gem 'dotenv', '~> 2.8.1'
gem "jets", "~> 5.0.0"
gem "importmap-jets"
gem "sprockets-jets"
gem "sassc" # only required if using sass in stylesheets


# Include mysql2 gem if you are using ActiveRecord, remove next line
# and config/database.yml file if you are not


# development and test groups are not bundled as part of the deployment
group :development, :test do
  # Call 'byebug' anywhere in the code to stop execution and get a debugger console
  gem 'byebug', platforms: [:mri, :mingw, :x64_mingw]
  gem 'shotgun'
  gem 'rack'
  gem 'puma'
end

group :test do
  gem 'rspec' # rspec test group only or we get the "irb: warn: can't alias context from irb_context warning" when starting jets console
  gem 'launchy'
  gem 'capybara'
end

I haven't tried deploying, but it runs locally and ENV is working.

@jmouka Thanks, it's working, I don't know why I thought it's a dependency.
