Getting an ENV to the Docker build process

[native schooner]

I have the following code:

        const src = client.host().directory(project_dir).withoutDirectory('.git').withoutDirectory('./node_modules');
        src.dockerBuild(dockerBuildOpts)
            .withEnvVariable("USER",nuget_user)
            .withEnvVariable("PAT",nuget_password)
            .withRegistryAuth(registry_url, azure_user, secret)
            .publish(registry_url + registry_loc + ':' + docker_image);

However, the USER and PAT variables, don't seem to be available with the Docker file?

Any ideas?

The variables should be available in the resulting container, but not during the docker build. If you're trying to get those variables to the dockerfile, you probably want to use build args in the dockerBuild https://docs.dagger.io/current/sdk/nodejs/reference/modules/api_client_gen#directorydockerbuildopts

I've already got them in there, they just don't seem to be available to my sed command that's running as part of my Docker file?

@native schooner ENV can't be passed as an argument to dockerfiles

you need to use ARG instead

and then set the ARGS with the method kyle referenced above in the dockerBuild method
