Question

An environment variable ApiBaseUrl is in the agent solution with Dev default https://api-dev.contoso.com. How should Test use https://api-test.contoso.com without editing topic nodes each deploy?

Accepted Answer

Set the environment variable value in the Test environment (pipeline/deployment settings or environment configuration) so the same solution reads Test’s value at runtime. — One solution, many environments: override the environment variable’s value in Test. Don’t clone the whole agent just to change a base URL.

Answer

Fork the entire agent into an unmanaged copy in Test and hard-code the Test URL in twenty Message nodes.

Answer

Change the Dev default only on Fridays and hope pipelines run the same day.

Answer

Store the Test URL in a user-facing Adaptive Card title.
