selenium-side-runner command "store" import external parameters does not work.

[spea1]

Hi, I am trying to use external parameters, e.g. with Windows variables, "--params" or "env" input in the .side.yml file, in a functioning project side-file, unfortunately it does not work. The value of the variables is not transferred:

info: echo: Env MYUSERNAME: ${MYUSERNAME}, Env MYPASSWORD: ${MYPASSWORD}

Selenium Grid is run under WSL Docker and selenium-side-runner under Windows.

Env from .side.yml: the variables are taken over, but the same behavior as above

%runner_CMD% %TEST% --output-directory=results --config-file %TestCase_Dir%.side.yml --server %Remote_URL%
