How can I access declared variable in bash when executing Laravel Envoy task?

I have simple Envoy setup. A server:

@servers(['ws' => 'ws.sk'])

... And simple "ping" task:

@task('ping-ws', ['on' => 'ws'])
    echo "Hello world from WS server!"
    echo $(pwd)
    pwd
    var_1="Hello"
    echo "${var_1}"
@endtask

Where I would like to assign some values to variables and access them later. Although the result is quite unexpected:

envoy run ping-ws
Hello world from WS server!
/Users/davidlukac/dev/drupal/_devdesktop/davidlukac
/home

  1. The $(pwd) command is evaluated locally.

  2. Variable var_1 is either not assigned, or out of scope on the next line.

Is this expected behaviour? Is there a workaround for it?

If needed, you may pass option values into Envoy tasks using the command line:

envoy run deploy --branch=master

You may access the options in your tasks via Blade's "echo" syntax. Of course, you may also use if statements and loops within your tasks. For example, let's verify the presence of the $branch variable before executing the git pull command:

@servers(['web' => '192.168.1.1'])

@task('deploy', ['on' => 'web'])
    cd site

    @if ($branch)
        git pull origin {{ $branch }}
    @endif

    php artisan migrate
@endtask

It's from official envoy documentation, so you are welcome to learn more

If you want to add more than one variable just append as much as you need.

envoy run deploy --var1=var1Value --var2=var2Value
