How to configure feature flags in CI

The dda CLI can evaluate feature flags during CI runs. To enable this, configure how dda gets the client token.

Client token

Set DDA_FEATURE_FLAGS_CLIENT_TOKEN to pass the token directly. Otherwise, set a command that prints it:

[feature-flags.ci]
token-command = ["vault", "kv", "get", "-field=token", "kv/path/to/secret"]

You can also use the DDA_FEATURE_FLAGS_CI_TOKEN_COMMAND environment variable, which takes precedence. The command runs without a shell. On Windows the variable isn't split with POSIX rules, so backslashes in paths are kept.

variables:
  DDA_FEATURE_FLAGS_CI_TOKEN_COMMAND: vault kv get -field=token kv/path/to/secret

Notes

  • dda automatically scopes evaluations with CI context, including job name, job ID, stage, and branch.
  • If no token can be retrieved, flags default to the code-provided default.
