Set environment variables programmatically

I want to set up a Doppler webhook which updates secrets in Convex. I know of two ways to update secrets: through the dashboard, and through the CLI.

CLI seems like the easiest route, but I'm not exactly sure how to do this arbitrarily:

C:\dev
❯ CONVEX_DEPLOY_KEY="dev:fake-project-777|superreallylongstringthathasaconvexkeyinit" pnpx convex env set TEST itworks
✖ Unable to read your package.json: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\dev\package.json'. Make sure you're running this command from the root directory of a Convex app that contains the package.json

C:\dev
❯ CONVEX_DEPLOY_KEY="dev:fake-project-777|superreallylongstringthathasaconvexkeyinit" pnpx convex env set TEST itworks
✖ Unable to read your package.json: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\dev\package.json'. Make sure you're running this command from the root directory of a Convex app that contains the package.json

C:\dev
❯ CONVEX_DEPLOY_KEY="dev:fake-project-777|superreallylongstringthathasaconvexkeyinit" pnpx convex env set TEST itworks
✖ Unable to read your package.json: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\dev\package.json'. Make sure you're running this command from the root directory of a Convex app that contains the package.json

C:\dev
❯ CONVEX_DEPLOY_KEY="dev:fake-project-777|superreallylongstringthathasaconvexkeyinit" pnpx convex env set TEST itworks
✖ Unable to read your package.json: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\dev\package.json'. Make sure you're running this command from the root directory of a Convex app that contains the package.json

And I figure going down this route will run into other issues, since I imagine the CLI wasn't built to do this.

Accomplishing this through the dashboard is possible but extremely cursed, and I would prefer not to pull out puppeteer/playwright for this :ultra_joy:

Tentatively, I'm thinking a GitHub action triggered by a workflow might work, which would have the source directory and the surrounding dev environment, but that feels like a lot of orchestration.

Is there any way to accomplish this right now?
