Feedback for “Secrets Management”

[momander]

This page talks about .env files and .bru files for secrets. It seems that Bruno saves the secrets in .bru files only. Where do the .env files come in? Should I create them manually?

I don't understand this and I'm not able to get secrets in .env files to work. I think these instructions could be more prescriptive and tell the user:

• what files to create manually, if any
• what format they should be in
• when the .env files are read by Bruno (do I need to restart the UI?)

Thanks for the feedback, We will work on improving the docs to be more prescriptive.

Meanwhile, here are the answer to your questions.

Where do the .env files come in? - The .env file must be present at the root of your collection.
Should I create them manually? - Yes
when the .env files are read by Bruno (do I need to restart the UI?) - You don't need to restart the UI
