We resolved it by making him use pipeline vars for his scripts. Like we told him to do in the beginning.
He fought it because he wanted his scripts the same for all projects. Including hard coded usernames and passwords. So, it was mostly his fault.
Ah, makes a ton of sense. We do the same, basically use a
.env
file for local dev and OPs overrides the vars with whatever makes sense for the environment.Yeah. Since he was a subcontractor, he wanted all his scripts to be the same, no matter who the customer was.
I was like jesus christ, I'm lazy too and want to automate everything, but edit your stupid scripts to use env vars.
