Vault agent template doesn't seem to respect env vars

[ryuheechul]

when I read these two doc pages:

• https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/agent/
• https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/agent/template/
  I thought templating will respect env vars such as VAULT_ADDR, VAULT_CACERT
  however these seem to be no respected except VAULT_ADDR. It only worked properly when I add explicitly all cert configs in vault agent config file rather than having it in env vars.

If it’s a bug than I will file an issue it on GitHub. At the moment I’m not sure if this is a bug or if I’m doing it right. So I wanted to discuss with you before I file an issue.

Hi @ryuheechul!

This is indeed a bug and should be fixed with https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/8243.

Cheers,
Michel

Hi @michelvocks! Thanks for your answer and the PR!
I guess it will be applied with the next release since it’s merged?

Hi! I am also on the Vault team. Yes, it’s intended to be included in our next release, which is a beta going out very soon.
