Unable to create an environment variable...

[curtisa]

Hi all,

I've tried for probably hours to get the below working but I just can't seem to be able to create an environment variable. The API I'm calling is ...

$ curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" -d '{"key": "mytestkey", "value": "value1", "secured": false }' https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/<username>/<repo-slug>/deployments_config/environments/{environment UUID in curly brackets}/variables

The error I get is : 

{"error": {"message": "Not found", "detail": "The value provided is not a valid uuid."}}

The environment UUID I use in the URL is what is returned from a GET on

https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/<username>/<repo-slug>/environments/

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong pls (I think I'm following the API docs at : https://developer.atlassian.com/bitbucket/api/2/reference/resource/repositories/%7Bworkspace%7D/%7Brepo_slug%7D/deployments_config/environments/%7Benvironment_uuid%7D/variables ). I'm not sure the API docs are strictly correct on that URL above because I don't know how you can include a UUID in the payload when you're creating a variable. 

Many thanks for any help / tips...

Hi @curtisa ,

You will need to encode the characters for the curly brackets in order for this to work.

{ should be replaced with %7B and } with %7D

An example call:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -u username:app-password 
-d '{"key": "mytestkey", "value": "value1", "secured": false }' https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/my-workspace/my-repo/deployments_config/environments/%7B26e47eac-2770-4b69-8f23-92634d03a443%7D/variables

where 26e47eac-2770-4b69-8f23-92634d03a443 is the UUID of my Pipelines environment.

Could you please give this a try?

Please feel free to let us know if it works or if you need further assistance.

Kind regards,

Hi! 

How did you get the uuid ? 

[curtisa]

Hi,

By calling

https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/<username>/<repo-slug>/environments/

and then picking the uuid value of the environment I want to set the variable for, i.e... 

"uuid": "{abcdefg-12345-abcd-1234-abc1234567890}"
