[Question] Env specific serviceUrl not getting updated

[KumarNaveen26]

Release version

v5.0.0

Question Details

I have my api which is using the Webservice http url for backend.

<set-backend-service base-url="DEV_ENV_URL" />

I want this to be updated for prod env. So in my configuration.prod.yaml file, I have provided new value for serviceUrl as below

apis:
  - name: NAME_OF_THE_API
    properties:
      serviceUrl: PROD_ENV_URL

Even after publishing it successfully, prod has the url of dev env. Could you please let me know what could be the issue.

Expected behavior

base-url in prod should be updated with PROD_ENV_URL.

Actual behavior

base-url in prod has the same value as DEV_ENV_URL.

Reproduction Steps

NA

@KumarNaveen26 - The configuration change you made will override the service URL of the API, like this:

However, the code you provided (<set-backend-service base-url="DEV_ENV_URL" />) is a policy. This won't be affected by API configuration changes. The best way to override policy values across environments is with named values.

1. Create a named value in DEV with the desired backend URL.
2. Update your policy to use the named value (<set-backend-service base-url="{{base-url-named-value}}" />). Keep the double brackets.
3. Update your named value configuration in PROD with the appropriate PROD URL.

namedValues:
  - name: base-url-named-value
    properties:
      value: https://myproductionurl
