Hey folks,

I am a noob at Node.js, so sorry if I am missing some obvious points. I converted my application from UI to CLI by using zapier convert command  without issues. However, I couldn’t manage to run tests.

I am getting “Only absolute URLs are supported” message after zapier test command. The message info goes on with the endpoint of my API: “{{process.env.API_URL}}/calculations/...”.

What should I do to resolve this issue? My UI version works flawlessly at the end. So, I don’t want to make changes like replacing variables with static values.

I have understood that I can get the variables from the .env file, but my .env doesn’t include a variable API_URL. It has only ACCESS_TOKEN and REFRESH_TOKEN. Also, I can’t access them if I wrapped them between curly brackets like the one above ({{process.env.API_URL}}).

Thanks in advance.

Hi @McManaman !

You can set environment variables with the following command:

zapier env:set  version_number] VARIABLE_NAME=variable_value

We have some documentation on this command here.

Let me know if you have any more questions!

Hey shalgrim,

My question was how to test my app locally which is full with curlies “{{}}”?

Hm,

Have you tried adding API_URL to your .env file?
