@s3ppo would you please try with variables instead like:

        {
            "$id": "my-function",
            "name": "my-function",
            "runtime": "dart-2.17",
            "path": "functions/my-function",
            "entrypoint": "lib/main.dart",
            "ignore": [".packages", ".dart_tool"],
            "execute": [],
            "variables": {
                "APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT": "https://[HOSTNAME]/v1",
                "APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY": "[API KEY]"
            },
            "events": ["databases.*.create"],
            "schedule": "",
            "timeout": 15
        }

Please also make sure you're on the latest appwrite CLI (appwrite -v should show 1.1.1).

Version is 1.1.1

thanks i can see now a warning because of the variables

• however... there is an error cause of a too lang variable? my variable contains an api key which is not longer than 8192 chars
• in the json of appwrite console it is named vars and not variables.. this should be identical in my opinion

@s3ppo

there is an error cause of a too lang variable

did you pass an object like my sample above? Would you please share the function JSON from your appwrite.json, redacting anything as needed?

in the json of appwrite console it is named vars and not variables.. this should be identical in my opinion

I think it's different because the format is different than that vars.

[stnguyen90]

Anyway all other keys and formats are same like in console.. why is it here different?

@s3ppo, probably because variables were used like this in the CLI before 1.x. We do plan on documenting the appwrite.json better.

[s3ppo]

Ah okay you are right.. i tried to pass it with vars format like showed in console..

Anyway all other keys and formats are same like in console.. why is it here different? This is an exception where you have to waste a lot of time to find it in the docs 😉
