MFE dynamic config and previous patch used in Nutmeg

Now that Olive supports MFE dynamic configuration, I find myself trying to convert a plugin I was using previously under Nutmeg to add specific environment variables to all MFEs.

I was using the “mfe-env-production” tutor patch that no longer exists under Olive.

What patch should I use to add a specific variable in an MFE?

For example, here is what I was using:

name: edulib-mfe
version: 0.4.0
patches:
mfe-env-production: |
SEARCH_CATALOG_URL=‘https://catalogue.edulib.org
CYBERSOURCE_URL=‘https://secureacceptance.cybersource.com/silent/pay

How do I convert it to work with Olive?
Now that plugins/mfe/build/mfe/env/production no longer exists in Olive, I need to be able to make these variables available to all MFEs, but I fail to understand where I need to add them now…

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This is also covered in the upcoming Release Notes. You’ll want to use openedx-lms-production-settings, where you would:

MFE_CONFIG["SEARCH_CATALOG_URL"] = "https://catalogue.edulib.org"
MFE_CONFIG["CYBERSOURCE_URL"] = "https://secureacceptance.cybersource.com/silent/pay"

Note that this means these configuration items will be accessible to all MFEs. This should be harmless unless there’s a collision with the names of the settings variables. In which case you would instead want to scope the variable to a specific MFE:

MFE_CONFIG_OVERRIDES["payment"]["SEARCH_CATALOG_URL"] = "https://catalogue.edulib.org"

Many many thanks @arbrandes

I was that close. I figured out it was going to be in openedx-lms-production-settings by looking at the code, but I was unsure how to proceed.

And you also read my mind because the original use of my plugin was to override the SEARCH_CATALOG_URL in a specific MFE at some point. And in that case, I don’t mind if all MFEs have the same link to our external catalog.

Thank you again.
