Error with Environment Secrets. about al-go HOT 4 OPEN

If you are using GitHub environments, you can create the authcontext secret under the environment as an environment secret called AUTHCONTEXT (without the prefix).

If you are setting up environments in settings, you should create the environment as XPR365QA and then use

"DeployToXPR365QA": {
    "EnvironmentName": "XPR365-QA"
}

And then create the secret called XPR365QA_AUTHCONTEXT

from al-go.

What is supposed to go into the secret exactly? I'm running into this as well and I don't understand what is supposed to be the value of that secret. Am I correct in guessing it should be an access token?

from al-go.

An accesstoken has a validity period of ~60 minutes. Adding that as a secret would require you to modify that with every deployment.

You can find the format of the authcontext secret used for deployment here:

or
https://github.com/microsoft/AL-Go/blob/main/Scenarios/RegisterSandboxEnvironment.md

from al-go.

Thank you so much, that helps immensely. This is my first time trying to set all this up for an OnPrem project and it's a lot to absorb in a short period.
