feat: add env-file input for compose interpolation - #51
Conversation
Exposes the CLI's new --env-file support via a COMPOSE_ENV_FILES environment variable, so workflows can point compose interpolation at a non-default env file (e.g. .env.production). Whitespace-delimited input is converted to the comma-separated form the CLI expects, matching how `project` maps to COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME. - action.yaml: new env-file input; set COMPOSE_ENV_FILES - README: document the env-file input - test.yaml + fixtures: assert env-file interpolation reaches the CLI Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Sw7j9FYnbChZJbYArxbhuo

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new env-file input can still mishandle valid tab- or newline-delimited paths, causing malformed environment setup and incorrect Compose interpolation; merge should wait for this bounded correctness issue to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

This test passes only one path. It does not verify whitespace-to-comma conversion or the documented later-file override behavior. Add two files with different
GREETINGvalues and pass them in a multilineenv-filevalue. Compose processes multiple environment files in order, with later files overriding earlier values. (docs.docker.com)Based on learnings, update
test.yamlwhen a new action input needs coverage; extend this test to cover the multiple-file case.Suggested test change

In `@action.yaml`:
- Around line 118-121: Update the ENV_FILE export step to guard directly on the
workflow input using the env-file input expression, while continuing to read the
value from ENV_FILE for conversion and writing COMPOSE_ENV_FILES.
- Around line 118-121: Update the COMPOSE_ENV_FILES assignment in the ENV_FILE
step to normalize all whitespace runs to commas, trim leading and trailing
commas, and write the result with printf. Preserve set -o pipefail and remove
the trailing || true while retaining the existing empty-input guard.

What
Adds an
env-fileinput so workflows can point Compose interpolation at a non-default environment file (e.g..env.production), matchingdocker compose --env-file.The input is mapped to the
COMPOSE_ENV_FILESenvironment variable that the Defang CLI reads (whitespace-delimited input is converted to the comma-separated form the CLI expects), the same wayprojectmaps toCOMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME. Using the env var means it applies to whatevercommandruns, not justcompose up.Depends on the CLI-side support in DefangLabs/defang#2178.
