`azd ai agent init` does not prompt for environment variables referenced by unified azure.yaml

[mohitpavan]

Parameters is not supported in azure.yaml now.

We are trying to put some variables in the azure.yaml

credentials:
      key: '${PLAYWRIGHT_SERVICE_ACCESS_TOKEN}'
    metadata:
      resourceId: '${PLAYWRIGHT_SERVICE_RESOURCE_ID}'

But these were not asked while doing the Azd init

this works when we do the azd env set PLAYWRIGHT_SERVICE_ACCESS_TOKEN xyz
but it will be helpful if it can be asked in the CLI's UI instead, which used to be the case in the agent.manifest.yaml, this is gone only in the new azure.yml flow.

Thanks for reporting this. Based on the example, this may be a prompting parity gap in the unified azure.yaml flow, since ${VAR} references work once set with azd env set but are not prompted for during init. I believe the previous agent.manifest.yaml handling prompted for declared parameters during init.

Could you confirm if this was in the azd ai agent init flow?

Yes @JeffreyCA it is azd ai init flow, it will be helpful if this flow prompts for the vars needed and sets them by itself.
