I have some problem to acces secrets variables in build.gradle file. I've defined two secrets in Github repo settings: PUBLIC_API_KEY and PRIVATE_API_KEY
In my actions.yml file I read them from the secrets, decode and write into a apikey.properties file
name: My fancy app
on: [ push, pull_request ]
defaults:
run:
shell: bash
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Clone Repo
uses: actions/checkout@v1
- name: Acces API Public Key
env:
PUBLIC_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.PUBLIC_API_KEY }}
run: echo "$PUBLIC_API_KEY" | base64 -d > ./apikey.properties
- name: Acces API Private Key
env:
PRIVATE_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.PRIVATE_API_KEY }}
run: echo "$PRIVATE_API_KEY" | base64 -d > ./apikey.properties
In my build.gradle I create a properties object from the apikey.properties file and try to read the variables, that where saved in the previous step. This is what is looks like in my build.gradle file
def apikeyPropertiesFile = rootProject.file("apikey.properties")
def apikeyProperties = new Properties()
try {
apikeyProperties.load(new FileInputStream(apikeyPropertiesFile))
println("Private Key value" + apikeyProperties['PRIVATE_API_KEY'])
println("Public Key value" + apikeyProperties['PUBLIC_API_KEY'])
} catch(Exception exception) {
println("Error by loading properties file" + exception.message)
}
....
buildConfigField("String", "PRIVATE_API_KEY", apikeyProperties['PRIVATE_API_KEY'])
buildConfigField("String", "PUBLIC_API_KEY", apikeyProperties['PUBLIC_API_KEY'])
The build is failing because both apiKeyProperties values are null.
Can somebody tell me, why the values are null?
