Unable to manage plugin through netlify.toml

[ketan-vijayvargiya]

Hi,

I enabled this plugin for my Netlify site by following the documentation.

However, I like to manage my plugins and environment variables through my netlify.toml file. So, I removed those environment variables and plugin from the Netlify website and added the following to netlify.toml:

...
ALGOLIA_API_KEY = "..."
ALGOLIA_BASE_URL = "https://crawler.algolia.com"

[[plugins]]
package = "@algolia/netlify-plugin-crawler"

On doing so, Algolia removed the crawler after sometime with the following error: Algolia can no longer access your Netlify Site "...". This shouldn't have happened, right? Or did I do something wrong?

Hey @ketan-vijayvargiya
thanks for the report.

We never tried this way, it should indeed work based on what we read. We'll test and reach out again.

Please be aware that committing your API key is not a recommended practice (as for any other secret) that's also why we are pushing it to Netlify.
