.magento.env.yaml changes not shown in env.php after deploy

NOTE

If you have this problem upgrade to ece-tools 2002.1.5 to fix it. 2002.1.5 has functionality to reset the opcache on each deployment so there is never a need to change the setting opcache.enable_cli=1. If you don’t want to upgrade, then you would have to do the workaround steps as described below in the solution.

This article provides a solution for the issue where changes in .magento.env.yaml file are not reflected in app/etc/env.php after deployment.

Affected products and versions

Issue

Changes made in the .magento.env.yaml file do not affect the app/etc/env.php generated.

Steps to reproduce:

Change any value in .magento.env.yaml and push to the server, where it should define the configuration (and deployment settings) for the currently checked-out environment. For steps, see Environment Variables > Deploy Variables in our developer documentation.

Expected result:

Changes made in the .magento.env.yaml file affect the app/etc/env.php generated.

Actual result:

The changes have no effect on the app/etc/env.php variables after deployment.

Cause

The issue could be caused by the incorrect value of the opcache.enable_cli parameter in the php.ini file.

Solution

  1. Check that the system is configured according to Adobe Commerce Performance Best Practices > Software recommendations.
  2. Check if opcache.enable_cli directive in php.ini is set to 0 by executing: php -i | grep opcache.enable_cli
  3. If the output looks like opcache.enable_cli=1 , edit the php.ini file in the project root directory and change opcache.enable_cli=1 to opcache.enable_cli=0
  4. Redeploy the project.
