The secrets configured in tfaction.yaml are not being set as environment variables by export-secrets.

tfaction version

v1.4.0

Overview

The secrets configured in tfaction.yaml are not being set as environment variables by export-secrets.
However, when the same secrets configuration is set in tfaction-root.yaml, it works properly.

How to reproduce

tfaction-root.yaml

plan_workflow_name: test
target_groups:
- working_directory: terraform/
  target: terraform/dev/
  aws_region: ap-northeast-1
  s3_bucket_name_tfmigrate_history: tfaction-************
  terraform_plan_config:
    aws_assume_role_arn: arn:aws:iam::************:role/tfaction

tfaction.yaml

secrets:
- env_name: NEW_RELIC_API_KEY
  secret_name: NEWRELIC_API_KEY_DEV

GitHub Actions Workflow

I have created a workflow based on this example as a reference.
I am using secrets: inherit to pass secrets to the reusable workflow.

Expected behaviour

The log states: export the secret NEWRELIC_API_KEY_DEV as the environment variable NEW_RELIC_API_KEY.

Below is the configuration of secrets written in tfaction-root.yaml:

Actual behaviour

The environment variable NEW_RELIC_API_KEY is not being set.

Important Factoids

This issue seems similar to #1564, where despite the log message in export-secrets stating The list of secret names passed to the action: NEWRELIC_API_KEY_DEV, the environment variable is not being set.

After reviewing the code in the following files:

• https://github.com/suzuki-shunsuke/tfaction/blob/8d5c4769af3a845f03d1f3f90b79fb981c849a01/export-secrets/src/index.ts
• https://github.com/suzuki-shunsuke/tfaction/blob/8d5c4769af3a845f03d1f3f90b79fb981c849a01/export-secrets/src/lib.ts

I couldn't find the part where it retrieves secrets from tfaction.yaml."

Note

No response

[suzuki-shunsuke]

The log looks strange.

I'm not sure where NEWRELIC_USER_KEY_DEV (not NEWRELIC_API_KEY_DEV) came from. 🤔

[rochana-atapattu]

I'm getting the same issue
I have set the config in tfaction.yaml

and I passed down the secret properly, It shows up in the logs but its not being set as an env vars.
