Question

A workflow defines an environment variable at three levels. At the top of the file, env: sets DEPLOY_TARGET: staging. Inside the 'deploy' job, env: sets DEPLOY_TARGET: production. Inside a step in that job, env: sets DEPLOY_TARGET: canary. When that step runs, what value does ${{ env.DEPLOY_TARGET }} resolve to for the step, and why?

Accepted Answer

canary, because a step-level env value overrides both the job-level and workflow-level values for that step

Answer

staging, because the workflow-level env is defined first and takes precedence over narrower scopes

Answer

production, because job-level env always wins over step-level env

Answer

The workflow errors at parse time because DEPLOY_TARGET is defined multiple times
