AWS CodeBuild - BuildSpec.yml - exported-variables are not resolving values

Question

I am trying to export a variable value from the CodeBuild Stage of AWS code-pipeline but the value is not resolving

Note: Windows container's PowerShell is executing the commands of buildspec.yml

Example: I am setting an Input environment variable named Client like below in the AWS CodeBuild project

and to export the same value I have modified my buildspec.yml like below

version: 0.2

env:
  variables:
    ClientEnv: $(echo $Client)
  exported-variables:
    - ClientEnv

but the exported value is expression not the resolved value

I have also tried passing variables but seems not working.

How I can pass the environment variables to exported-variables in such a scenario

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Simply use ${Client} in your buildspec.yml file

Answer 2

If the name of the variable is Client as defined in the Env. Vars of CodeBuild project thenthe following is enough. You dont need to redefine the same variable in the env->variables section

env:
   exported-variables:
   - Client

Answer 3

You need to change your code as is:

env:
  exported-variables:
    - Client
