@environment

The @environment decorator specifies environment variables for a step.

Note that @environment is mainly useful for setting special environment variables that need to be present when a container launched by @batch or @kubernetes starts, which happens before any user code is executed. Variables that are needed after the user code has started can be set as usual in Python:

import os
os.environ['SOME_VAL'] = "some value"

To set credentials and other secret as environment variables, see the @secrets decorator.

@environment(...)

from metaflow import environment

Dictionary of environment variables to set.
