AEMaaCS | Unable to read cloud environment and secret variables from AEM cloud in AEM OSGI config

Hi,

I am unable to read the environment and secret variables from AEM cloud in my OSGI config (ui.config/src/main/content/jcr_root/apps/proj/osgiconfig/config.author.dev/com.proj.service.impl.ServiceImpl.config.cfg.json)

{
    "apiUrl": "$[env:EFIX_BACKEND_URL;default=https://some.value.foo/bar]",
    "secretKey": "$[secret:EFIX_BACKEND_USER]",
    "secretVal": "$[secret:EFIX_BACKEND_PASSWORD]",
    "timeout:Integer":1000
}


We have the environment and secret variables from AEM cloud author as below:

Am i missing something?

The variable definition looks correct. I would suggest checking how you are retrieving the values. Please look at this post, which has a full example of how to use the variables once set up https://medium.com/slalom-technology/how-to-use-environment-variables-in-adobe-experience-manager-aem-as-cloud-service-1e9145d78c2c

I know this post is 2 years old, but I'm encountering the same issue.
Were you able to resolve it? If so, could you please share the details?

Can you verify you don't have a run mode selection conflict?

Something like another config under ui.config/src/main/content/jcr_root/apps/proj/osgiconfig/config.author/com.proj.service.impl.ServiceImpl.config.cfg.json

    @estebanbustamante  thanks for your response. 
    On AEM Cloud DEV we can see the config for the pid com.proj.service.impl.ServiceImpl.config which confirms the runmode is fine, but these osgi config values with expression are not getting replaced from the cloud environment and secret variables as we can see in logs the StringUtils.isNotBlank() is returning false for the config value in service.
