I am referencing an environment value from a Realm function as instructed here: context.values.get("appTwilioNumber")

I confirmed appTwilioNumber exists in our project: appTwilioNumber variable is defined for all environments and that our project is assigned an environment: enter image description here

Yet, when I call console.log('twilioNumberForEnv:', context.values.get("appTwilioNumber")); in our Realm function, I get twilioNumberForEnv: undefined.

EDIT 1: I have more info now--I logged out and logged back in (in case of multi-user sync issues), then exported my app from the Realm UI and the values folder is empty. Not sure if that is a separate bug, but updating in case this info is useful.

EDIT 2: the environment values are stored under environment, not under values. Edit 1 was a red herring. I do see appTwilioNumber in the exported app, but it still returns undefined in the Realm functions.

Wow... Mongo's documentation might be off.

In another function, I found this: context.environment.values.anotherEnvValue instead of context.values.get("appTwilioNumber") . So I updated my code to context.environment.values.appTwilioNumber, and it worked.

I did a CMD-f on both https://docs.mongodb.com/realm/values-and-secrets/define-environment-values/ and https://docs.mongodb.com/realm/values-and-secrets/access-a-value/ for ".environment", and it isn't on either page.

I'll follow up with Mongo, but please use context.environment.values.YOURENVVALUE instead of context.values.get("YOURENVVALUE") if you encounter this issue.

    The correct command can be found under functions: https://docs.mongodb.com/realm/functions/context/#mongodb-method-context.environment.values . Perhaps the docs for values and secrets didn't get updated. – nnaj20 Jul 15 '21 at 07:22
