All,

An odd behavior.  I need to set an environment variable with a period in the name (eframe.key).  The action YAML file is:

name: BuildAndTestAll
on: [push]
jobs:

build:

runs-on: ubuntu-latest

steps:

- uses: actions/checkout@v1

- name: Set up JDK 1.8

uses: actions/setup-java@v1

with:

java-version: 1.8

- name: Build and Test

env:

# A key to use for testing, not used in production.

eframe.key: someKey890123456789012345678901234567890

eframeKey: othersomeKey890123456789012345678901234567890

run: ./gradlew cleanAll testAll -DwriteTests=false

The variable eframeKey works fine and is in the environment.  The eframe.key is not.  I am using Micronaut and it seems to need the variable with a period in the name (not sure why yet).

I have  a short-term work around using a default value in the code, but I need to avoid that for security reasons.

Is period just a reserved character for the names?
