I was looking over my hopeless hoard of bookmarks the other day and decided to make it a little more useful by curating my favourites into a more evergreen list of recommended reading/watching. Enjoy!

Ah the trouble more specifically is that I’d want to do my dog Jasper, but then I’d need to do him justice and that feels daunting haha

:( i think you'll probably want to open a github discussions thread on how to inject envvar into quarto's yaml files, ghdiscussions seems to be where the quarto folks want their support questions routed github.com/quarto-dev/q...

I think _variables and _environment are for interpolations at quarto render time but not sure if they're available to the quarto yaml, so we may want to open a quarto github discussion on the topic

in the meantime I think you tried “${ENVVAR}” and “{{ENVVAR}}” syntaxes, I’d also try "${{ ENV VAR }}", {{ ENV VAR }}, ${ ENV VAR}} and ${{ENV VAR}} syntaxes (the latter three without quotes) to see if any of them work

Tan @tanho.ca · 5d

I think this deploy log looks right to me! So then the question is getting quarto to accept them in the yamls where you want them…definitely hoping that Carlos “just knows” how to do this one 😅

Tan @tanho.ca · 5d

to paraphrase, two questions:
1) is netlify making the secrets available as envvars at build time? (check netlify-side docs and logs)
2) can we inline env vars into the quarto yaml files in question? (uh, @cscheid.net halp?)

Tan @tanho.ca · 5d

also I’m not 100% sure you can inline environment variables to yaml files with ${{ variable }} by default, it would need to be supported by whatever was parsing the yaml (ie quarto)
