environment variables not working if I have build turned off about actions-netlify

[jpangelle]

SOLVED!

Since Netlify isn't doing the build and deploy for me, it was not able to inject the environment variables set on the Netlify web app. Therefore, I had to add my environment variables manually to the build job:

name: Deploy to Netlify

on:
  push:
    branches: [master]

jobs:
  lint:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: hallee/[email protected]
        with:
          repo-token: ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}}
  deploy-to-production:
    needs: lint
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Install Dependencies
        run: yarn
      - name: Build
        run: yarn build
        env:
          REACT_APP_ENV: ${{ secrets.REACT_APP_ENV }}  # <-- added this
      - name: Deploy
        uses: nwtgck/[email protected]
        with:
          deploy-message: ${{ github.event.head_commit.message }}
          enable-commit-comment: false
          github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          production-branch: master
          production-deploy: true
          publish-dir: 'build'
        env:
          NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN }}
          NETLIFY_SITE_ID: ${{ secrets.NETLIFY_SITE_ID }}
