Environment "qa" has no file at projects/demo-shop/envs/qa.yaml

Example threads. These questions and answers were written by the SDODS team to document real problems and how to fix them. The people named are illustrative, not real users. Questions asked on this site are marked new.

Declared it in the project file:

yaml

envs:
  default: staging
  available: [local, staging, qa]

bash

sdods run -p demo-shop -e qa -l api

text

✖ ENV_NOT_FOUND: Environment "qa" has no file at /work/shop-tests/projects/demo-shop/envs/qa.yaml
  hint: Run `sdods env add qa --project demo-shop --ui-url ... --api-url ...`.

Does an environment have to have a file? I only wanted the name to exist so CI could pass it through.

Accepted answer
Yes. The file is what an environment consists of — the UI and API base URLs are required fields, and there is nothing sensible to run against without them.
A declared name with no file is the half-finished state, and this error is the other side of the one you get when the file exists but the name is undeclared. Availability is checked first, so you only ever see one of the two.
bash
```
sdods env add qa -p demo-shop --ui-url https://qa.example.com --api-url https://api-qa.example.com
```
If CI is meant to point the same environment somewhere else per branch, create the file with sensible defaults and override at run time with SDODS_UI_BASE_URL and SDODS_API_BASE_URL.

Both mismatches show up without running anything:
bash
```
sdods project list
sdods env list -p demo-shop
sdods doctor -p demo-shop
```
project list marks environments whose file is missing, and env list prints the base URLs per environment or the error that stops it resolving.

Wrap commands and output in triple backticks and they will render as a code block.
