What is the current behavior?

The current implementation of dockerfile_build rule looks up for environment variables value and uses None as fallback value for undefined one. This causes to resolve into --build-arg <ENV_VAR>=None build argument, which is interpreted as valid, defined value.

What is the new behavior?

Instead, we should fallback to empty string for undefined environment variables, which resolves to --build-arg <ENV_VAR>='' and is interpreted as empty value. This would match the same output as produced in shell:

$ echo "NON_EXISTING_VARIABLE='${NON_EXISTING_VARIABLE}'"
NON_EXISTING_VARIABLE=''

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

  • Yes
  • No

Other information

  The current implementation of dockerfile_build rule looks up for
  environment variables value and uses `None` as fallback value. This
  causes to resolve into `--build-arg <ENV_VAR>=None` build argument,
  which is seen as valid string.

  Instead, we should fallback to empty string for undefined environment
  variables, which resolves to `--build-arg <ENV_VAR>=''` and is
  interpreted as empty value.
