Env variables not working

[siavoshzarrasvand (Sia)]

Hey,

Our env variables are not being picked up. We have tried the following:

1. set them in the vercel UI, then fetch them with process.env.MY_ENV_VAR.

When that failed, we tried

2. set them in the UI, then import and export them in config.next.mjs, according to these guidelines: next.config.js Options: Runtime Config | Next.js

When that failed we tried asking Claude, and the Help chat function. But there were no suggestions from them that were different to what we tried.

Would need a bit of guidelines…

Seems to stem from a lack of understanding between shared and normal environment variables, and the fact that the former have to be linked.
