Can't deploy function where remote has variables

[Ruboka]

Github Doc with the wrong line

For Functions the option for the environment variables in this documentation has an error in its text.
It should be "vars" and not "variables".

 "functions": [
    {
      "$id": "655dfe83ea1cd538c65c",
      "name": "createDocument",
      "runtime": "node-20.0",
      "execute": ["any"],
      "events": [],
      "schedule": "",
      "timeout": 15,
      "enabled": true,
      "logging": true,
      "entrypoint": "src/main.js",
      "commands": "npm install",
      "ignore": ["node_modules", ".npm"],
      "path": "functions/createDocument",
      "vars": { "apikey": "test" } // not variables
    }
  ]

If tried to deploy with variables the cli throws an error
✗ Error remoteVariables is not defined

@Ruboka, thanks for creating this issue! 🙏🏼 What version of the CLI are you using? The latest version (4.2.0) has the variables in the variables key:

sdk-for-cli/lib/commands/deploy.js

Line 300 in ae7f9fe

if (func.variables) {

I am using 4.2.0 .
command line :
appwrite -v 4.2.0

I have installed the cli pakcage with brew. And I am using Docker for self hosting. Appwrite Image in Docker is version 1.4.8.

Also the model for functions says vars and not variables. maybe there is an oversight.

okay. i am confused and can't say what has worked or not. The error with "variables" still comes up since I have not changed anything .
But I am doubting the "vars" solution ever worked since it does not deploy the variables to the function.
I thought I had seen it working but now I can't confirm it again.

Ahh I see the problem. There was a bug introduced in 4.2.0:

sdk-for-cli/lib/commands/deploy.js

Lines 303 to 316 in ae7f9fe

	const { total } = await functionsListVariables({
	functionId: func['$id'],
	queries: ['limit(1)'],
	parseOutput: false
	});
	let deployVariables = yes;
	if (total === 0) {
	deployVariables = true;
	} else if (remoteVariables.length > 0 && !yes) {
	const variableAnswers = await inquirer.prompt(questionsDeployFunctions[1])
	deployVariables = variableAnswers.override.toLowerCase() === "yes";
	}
