Secrets

Lila tests will most likely be added to the repository. For sensitive information, Lila provides the ability to declare secrets.

Secrets are always declared using the ${SECRET_NAME} format but its retrieval mechanism is:

  • Look for an env var, if not then
  • Look for a Secret defined in Lila app.

Test example:​

Without secrets:

login.yaml
steps:
  - goto: https://staging.app.com/login
  - login: using email 'test@staging.com' and password 'password123'
  - verify: login is successfull
  ...

Using secrets:

login-with-secrets.yaml
steps:
  - goto: https://staging.app.com/login
  - login: using email ${STAGING_EMAIL} and password ${STAGING_PASSWORD}
  - verify: login is successfull
  ...

Using env vars​

First, Lila will look for environment variables. So for example the following will work:

STAGING_EMAIL=foo@bar.com STAGING_PASSWORD=foobar lila run login-with-secrets.yaml

If using Github Actions (or similar CI), you can use their secrets and add them as environment variables

e2e-test.yaml
...
steps:
  - name: Run login
    env: # Or as an environment variable
      STAGING_EMAIL: ${{ secrets.StagingEmail }}
      STAGING_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.StagingPwd }}
    run: |
      lila run login-with-secrets.yaml
...

Using Lila app​

When running the test case, if the Secret was not found as an environment variable, Lila will look in the defined Secrets for the value.
