Just like you’re inferring the branch names and using it to name the environment I’ve in the past used it to set the environment variable in another environment.
It’s nice for the scenarios where the primary trigger for convex is vercel git based deploys.
Alternatively I could setup a full GitHub actions deploy flow and, as you’re mentioning, deploy convex first and then use the url for subsequent steps

I still think, if possible, some kind of logic around branch names could be worth considering.
It’ll allow preview environments to easily work in setups where there’s a separate backend that communicates with convex (more and more common these days with the AI and python craze)

I can hardcode it for now - but the moment I start using the preview environments my backend and client will be writing to two different environments

I’ll investigate again tomorrow, but it seems like it isn’t set on the backend when it’s deployed

.env.local works for the backend.
But that isn’t present when I’m not running the app locally

There’s only what I’ve defined in environment variables inside of vercel - and what convex sets with the deploy key

Calling convex from tanstack start functions.
I have some workflow logic that runs on tanstack and coordinates convex (and a vector db).
It all works locally.
(I just set the env variable in .env.local)
But when I deploy it to vercel it complains about the VITE_CONVEX_URL not being set.
Which makes sense since we’re setting it just for the the front end bundle when we build and deploy

@jamwt I’ve set everything up with the convex vercel guide - the deploy key ensures the front end has an up to date convex url…
But.. how do I get that to my backend?

Math.random unsupported while evaluating schema
I like the idea of doing effect through and through, but the maintenance overhead of that seems pretty steep. Especially with the upcoming "local first" and "tanstack" apis
