No environment variable definition found for schema name

Posted on by FelipeLujan 19

Greetings.

 

My setup:

I am using the Azure DevOps tools for moving solutions to downstream environments (DEV > QA > PROD).

In DEV we have a solution with

- Power App x2

- Power automate flow x3

- environment variable x6

Also, the flows of this solution consume secret environment variables (from azure KV) that were removed from the DEV solution but are still available in the environment.

 

In my ADO build pipelines I have this YAML content.

The Build pipeline works as expected, no issues there.

 

In my release pipeline I have:

The error

When I run the release pipeline to import this solution and deployment settings onto a downstream environment I get this error.

This fragment catches my attention:

No environment variable definition found for schema name psh_user

 

If I remove psh_user and psh_password, the deployment won't fail but I definitely need those secrets available as environment variables.

 

In the Solution in the downstream environment, I see this

Has anyone experienced this issue before?

 

Thanks

    I was able to solve this issue. I imported the environment variables into the solution in the source environment with both the current value and the variable definition.

    Then, also in the source environment, I removed the current value from the solution and proceeded to export it.

    Now, the environment variable definitions are part of the solution, and I can import it into the downstream environment.

     

    Thanks
