Question
Build Fails when trying to get system ENV Variables

- GraphQLNode.jsDigitalOcean App Platform
I’m attempting to use the App platform to deploy a GraphQL API made with Apollo Server as a web service. When Adding in System ENV vars, I get this error message:
Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND https://osdm-api-r44fl.ondigitalocean.app/api
osdm-api | 08:46:54 at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:66:26)
osdm-api | 08:46:54 Emitted 'error' event on Server instance at:
osdm-api | 08:46:54 at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.doListen [as callback] (net.js:1499:12)
osdm-api | 08:46:54 at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:66:17) {
osdm-api | 08:46:54 errno: 'ENOTFOUND',
osdm-api | 08:46:54 code: 'ENOTFOUND',
osdm-api | 08:46:54 syscall: 'getaddrinfo',
osdm-api | 08:46:54 hostname: 'https://osdm-api-r44fl.ondigitalocean.app/api'
osdm-api | 08:46:54 }
I’m using $_self.PUBLIC_URL to grab the URL at build time. I’m able to get PRIVATE_PORT & PUBLIC_ROUTE_PATH without any issue.

It looks like you’re application code is trying to run a getaddrinfo call against the string “https://osdm-api-r44fl.ondigitalocean.app/api”. getaddrinfo expects a clean hostname (without the
https://prefix and/apiroute). You may want the${APP_DOMAIN}binding instead of$APP_URLor${service.PUBLIC_URL}.If you’re trying to determine which addressed to bind your service to, you should be able to use “0.0.0.0:$PORT” which listens on all interfaces, and selects the port based on the $PORT variable which is passed in.
