## Documentation content

Manage environment variables and `.env` files in DataRobot templates.

## 概要

The `dr dotenv` command provides tools for creating, editing, validating, and updating environment configuration files. It includes an interactive wizard for guided setup and a text editor for direct file manipulation.

## Commands

### dr dotenv setup

Launch the interactive wizard to configure environment variables.

```
dr dotenv setup 
```

特徴量:

- Interactive prompts for all required variables.
- Context-aware questions based on template configuration.
- Automatic discovery of configuration from .datarobot/prompts.yaml files.
- Smart defaults from .env.template .
- Secure handling of secret values.
- DataRobot authentication integration.
- Automatic state tracking of completion timestamp.

Prerequisites:

- Must be run inside a git repository.
- Requires authentication with DataRobot.

State tracking:

Upon successful completion, `dr dotenv setup` records the timestamp in the state file. This allows `dr templates setup` to intelligently skip dotenv configuration if it has already been completed. The state is stored in the same location as other CLI state (see [Configuration - State tracking](https://docs.datarobot.com/ja/docs/agentic-ai/cli/configuration.html.md#state-tracking)). Keep in mind that `dr dotenv setup` will always prompt for configuration if run manually, regardless of state.

To force the setup wizard to run again (ignoring the state file), use the `--force-interactive` flag:

```
dr templates setup --force-interactive 
```

This is useful for testing or when you need to reconfigure your environment from scratch.

例：

```
cd my-template
dr dotenv setup 
```

The wizard guides you through:
1. DataRobot credentials (auto-populated if authenticated).
2. Application-specific configuration.
3. Optional features and integrations.
4. Validation of all inputs.
5. Generation of `.env` file.

### dr dotenv edit

Open the `.env` file in an interactive editor or wizard.

```
dr dotenv edit 
```

Behavior: - If `.env` exists, opens it in the editor.
- If no extra variables are detected, opens text editor mode.
- If template prompts are found, offers wizard mode.
- Can switch between editor and wizard modes.

Editor mode controls: - `e` —edit in text editor.
- `w` —switch to wizard mode.
- `Enter` —save and exit.
- `Esc` —save and exit.

Wizard mode controls: - Navigate prompts with arrow keys.
- Enter values or select options.
- `Esc` —return to previous screen.

例：

```
cd my-template
dr dotenv edit 
```

### dr dotenv update

Automatically refresh DataRobot credentials in the `.env` file.

```
dr dotenv update 
```

特徴量: - Updates `DATAROBOT_ENDPOINT` and `DATAROBOT_API_TOKEN`.
- Preserves all other environment variables.
- Automatically authenticates if needed.
- Uses current authentication session.

Prerequisites: - Must be run inside a git repository.
- Must have a `.env` or `.env.template` file.
- Requires authentication with DataRobot.

例：

```
cd my-template
dr dotenv update 
```

Use cases: - Refresh expired API tokens.
- Switch DataRobot environments.
- Update credentials after re-authentication.

### dr dotenv validate

Validate that all required environment variables are properly configured.

```
dr dotenv validate 
```

特徴量: - Validates against template requirements defined in `.datarobot/prompts.yaml`.
- Checks both `.env` file and environment variables.
- Verifies core DataRobot variables ( `DATAROBOT_ENDPOINT`, `DATAROBOT_API_TOKEN`).
- Reports missing or invalid variables with helpful error messages.
- Respects conditional requirements based on selected options.

Prerequisites: - Must be run inside a git repository.
- Must have a `.env` file.

例：

```
cd my-template
dr dotenv validate 
```

出力：

Successful validation:

```
Validating required variables:
  APP_NAME: my-app
  DATAROBOT_ENDPOINT: https://app.datarobot.com
  DATAROBOT_API_TOKEN: ***
  DATABASE_URL: postgresql://localhost:5432/db

Validation passed: all required variables are set. 
```

Validation errors:

```
Validating required variables:
  APP_NAME: my-app
  DATAROBOT_ENDPOINT: https://app.datarobot.com

Validation errors:

Error: required variable DATAROBOT_API_TOKEN is not set
  Description: DataRobot API token for authentication
  Set this variable in your .env file or run `dr dotenv setup` to configure it.

Error: required variable DATABASE_URL is not set
  Description: PostgreSQL database connection string
  Set this variable in your .env file or run `dr dotenv setup` to configure it. 
```

Use cases: - Verify configuration before running tasks.
- Debug missing environment variables.
- CI/CD pipeline checks.
- Troubleshoot application startup issues.

## File structure

### .env.template

Template file committed to version control:

```
# Required Configuration
APP_NAME=
DATAROBOT_ENDPOINT=
DATAROBOT_API_TOKEN=

# Optional Configuration
# DEBUG=false
# PORT=8080 
```

### .env

Generated configuration file (never committed):

```
# Required Configuration
APP_NAME=my-awesome-app
DATAROBOT_ENDPOINT=https://app.datarobot.com
DATAROBOT_API_TOKEN=***

# Optional Configuration
DEBUG=true
PORT=8000 
```

## Interactive configuration

### Prompt types

The wizard supports multiple input types defined in `.datarobot/prompts.yaml`:

Text input:

```
prompts:
  - key: "app_name"
    env: "APP_NAME"
    help: "Enter your application name" 
```

Secret string:

```
prompts:
  - key: "api_key"
    env: "API_KEY"
    type: "secret_string"
    help: "Enter your API key"
    generate: true  # Auto-generate a random secret 
```

Single selection:

```
prompts:
  - key: "environment"
    env: "ENVIRONMENT"
    help: "Select deployment environment"
    options:
      - name: "Development"
        value: "dev"
      - name: "Production"
        value: "prod" 
```

Multiple selection:

```
prompts:
  - key: "features"
    env: "ENABLED_FEATURES"
    help: "Select features to enable"
    multiple: true
    options:
      - name: "Analytics"
      - name: "Monitoring" 
```

### Conditional prompts

Prompts can be shown based on previous selections:

```
prompts:
  - key: "enable_database"
    help: "Enable database?"
    options:
      - name: "Yes"
        requires: "database_config"
      - name: "No"

  - key: "database_url"
    section: "database_config"
    env: "DATABASE_URL"
    help: "Database connection string" 
```

## 一般的なワークフロー

### Initial setup

Set up a new template with all configuration:

```
cd my-template
dr dotenv setup 
```

### Quick updates

Update just the DataRobot credentials:

```
dr dotenv update 
```

### Manual editing

Edit variables directly:

```
dr dotenv edit
# Press 'e' for editor mode
# Make changes
# Press Enter to save 
```

### 検証

Check configuration before running tasks:

```
dr dotenv validate
dr run dev 
```

### Switch wizard to editor

Start with wizard, switch to editor:

```
dr dotenv edit
# Press 'w' for wizard mode
# Complete some prompts
# Press 'e' to switch to editor for fine-tuning 
```

## Configuration discovery

The CLI automatically discovers configuration from:

1. .env.template —base template with variable names.
2. .datarobot/prompts.yaml —interactive prompts and validation.
3. Existing.env —current values (if present).
4. Environment variables —system environment (override .env ).

Priority order (highest to lowest):
1. System environment variables.
2. User input from wizard.
3. Existing `.env` file values.
4. Default values from prompts.
5. Template values from `.env.template`.

## セキュリティ

### Secret handling

- Secret values are masked in the UI.
- Variables containing "PASSWORD", "SECRET", "KEY", or "TOKEN" are automatically treated as secrets.
- The secret_string prompt type enables secure input with masking.
- .env files should never be committed (add to .gitignore ).

### Auto-generation

Secret strings with `generate: true` are automatically generated:

```
prompts:
  - key: "session_secret"
    env: "SESSION_SECRET"
    type: "secret_string"
    generate: true
    help: "Session encryption key" 
```

This generates a cryptographically secure random string when no value exists.

## Error handling

### Not in repository

```
Error: not inside a git repository

Run this command from within an application template git repository.
To create a new template, run `dr templates setup`. 
```

Solution: Navigate to a git repository or use `dr templates setup`.

### Missing .env file

```
Error: .env file does not exist at /path/to/.env

Run `dr dotenv setup` to create one. 
```

Solution: Run `dr dotenv setup` to create the file.

### 認証が必要です

```
Error: not authenticated

Run `dr auth login` to authenticate. 
```

Solution: Authenticate with `dr auth login`.

### Validation failures

```
Validation errors:

Error: required variable DATABASE_URL is not set
  Description: PostgreSQL database connection string
  Set this variable in your .env file or run `dr dotenv setup` to configure it. 
```

Solution: Set the missing variables or run `dr dotenv setup`.

## Exit codes
