Environment Variables are not working as expected when deploying the solution to another environment using Pipeline

Posted on by learnpowerapp

I am deploying my solution from DEV to TEST and have created environment variables in Dev for SharePoint site and list(which is the datasource). At the time of deployment, I updated the environment variables with list name created for TEST Environment, however after the deployment is done successfully without any errors, the TEST environment is still showing DEV list data and connections are also not updated to new list which I created for TEST environment.

The SharePoint site I am using is same for both the lists.

Please let me know how can I rectify this issue

Re: Environment Variables are not working as expected when deploying the solution to another environment using Pipeline

@ANB - Thanks for your response. But my test environment is still pointing to old list(dev) even after following the steps mentioned in your solution. I tried using Export-Import method, but getting the same issue.
For using pipeline, do I need to follow https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/alm/conn-ref-env-variables-build-tools.
Is there a simple way to deploy the app from one environment to another if I use Pipelines.

Re: Environment Variables are not working as expected when deploying the solution to another environment using Pipeline

@ANB - I was able to resolve the issue. As earlier, I didn't enabled the option in settings to Automatically create Environment Variables, instead I created Environment Variables for SharePoint Site and list after creating and publishing the app. Now, I deleted the already created Environment variables, enabled the setting and then removed connections of List from app and then re-connected the list. After that it started working.
