Safe storage of environment variables in Google App Engine with file.yaml

Note: This action is a custom add-on made to enrich deploy-appengine

The action will help you to solve the following problems:

1. If you need to store API keys or other sensitive information in your .yaml as environment variables for deployment on Google App Engine.
2. If you don't like the idea to push secret environment variables your .yaml to GitHub.
3. If you don't like the idea to store the environment variables in a datastore.

Action swaps environment variables in your file.yaml with the minimal effort

1. Modify your < NAME >.yaml file:

    env_variables:
      KEY1: $KEY1
      KEY2: $KEY2
   

2. Add this action to your workflow:

    - uses: gokiwibot/[email protected]
      with:
        file: ./< NAME >.yaml
      env:
        KEY1: ${{ secrets.KEY1 }}
        KEY2: ${{ secrets.KEY2 }}
   

Note: If you do not add a file it will automatically pick app.yaml as default

Full example with deployment to Google App Engine:

deploy:
    name: Deploy
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: [build]
steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    # Replace variables
    - uses: gokiwibot/[email protected]
      with:
        file: ./< NAME >.yaml
      env:
        KEY1: ${{ secrets.KEY1 }}
        KEY2: ${{ secrets.KEY2 }}
    # Deploy to GAE
    - name: Authenticate with GCP
      uses: 'google-github-actions/auth@v0'
      with:
        credentials_json: '${{ secrets.GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT }}'
    - name: Deploy to Google App Engine
      uses: google-github-actions/deploy-appengine@v0
      with:
        deliverables: < NAME >.yaml
