Issue details

AWS AppSync supports environment variables in GraphQL resolvers and functions.

We were hoping we could use an environment variable so that the datasource code can be used on any branch.

When managing graphQL resources, could we have an option to manage the environment variables as well?

Thanks for the feature request @stooj !

At a glance it appears that https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/appsync_graphql_api could have supported environment variables, in which case this Pulumi projected provider would land the functionality as well, does that look right? I'm not yet very familiar with AppSync so double-checking. It appears there are no issues tracking this upstream yet, but if this is what's needed I can open one.

Thanks @t0yv0 - I agree that it needs an upstream issue. I'll open one up.

Appsync env vars are supported in the terraform aws-sdk-go-v2 sdk, but the AppSync service in the terraform provider has not been ported to v2 yet: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws/blob/main/internal/service/appsync/graphql_api.go

There is an open issue and an unmerged PR that will close this issue once it gets merged and released.

I stumbled across this issue trying to track down the same feature. The aforementioned unmerged PR is now merged. 🙂

The aforementioned unmerged PR is now merged

Which was included in v6.42.0 of pulumi-aws. 🎊

@SethThomas - are they still not working or are you using an older version?

The upstream issue got closed, and we received confirmation that it works on our side, closing

This issue is not resolved yet. The upstream provider did upgraded the appsync SDK to use aws-sdk-go-v2, which supports configuring environment variables for AppSync.

But upstream did not implement this feature yet, so this is not exposed in any way. Support for it is tracked here: hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws#38051

In the meantime you could give the GraphQlApi from aws-native a try.
I see that that one supports configuring environment variables.
