Post deployment hook and environment variable

[rajyraman]

When I provision and deploy a Function App, post deployment hook can access the FUNCTIONS_NAME output environment variable.

But if I just do a deployment I cannot seem to access the environment variable.

Is there anyway to get hold of the Endpoint URL in the postdeployment hook?

Maybe related to #2389

Closing as per #1613 (reply in thread). There is no need to use azd env get-values as all the environment variables are injected into the context.

The environment variables don't seem to be coming through if I just do deploy. So , I am reopening this discussion @vhvb1989

Looks like a bug.
@wbreza any ideas?

It appears that this deployment is occurring with a Github action? If azd provision is not called, then the outputs from the Bicep provisioning are not persisted in Github anywhere. To ensure that all Bicep outputs are available for azd try calling azd env refresh before azd deploy. This will hydrate all the bicep outputs and make them available as environment variables for your hooks.

@wbreza - That worked! I had to refresh the env in predeployment hook and then able to use the env variable in the post deployment hook. I added a condition in pre-deployment hook so that the refresh runs only in CI. Thank you Wallace and Victor.
