Posted

Things held as GitHub secrets must be defined as environment variables in the GitHub Actions workflow in order to be able to use them in a script. E.g.:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

  - name: Run script
    env:
      ODBC_DRIVER: $
      ODBC_SERVER: $
      ODBC_DATABASE: $
      ODBC_AUTHENTICATION: $
    run: python scraper.py

Variables can also be set for an entire workflow or job.
