Can't set environment variable from secret #26339

Here’s the yaml file: https://github.com/php-actions/composer/blob/434c409f860b690aa093760b78cdb252e78dd5d9/action.yml#L95-L96 As you can see, I’m successfully passing a few environment variables into the script from the value of the Action’s input parameters, but I can’t figure out how to set the environment variables from secrets. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a bug with Github actions? Any help will be appreciated, thanks! Here’s an example repository running this action: https://github.com/php-actions/example-phpunit/runs/1485735187 |

action.ymland then pass your required secrets to this action from inside the workflow file you’re using this action in.
