TL;DR

not able to use HCLOUD_TOKEN while running hcloud create context

Expected behavior

when running HCLOUD_TOKEN="x" hcloud context create dummy this should work and use the token provided in the environment var.

Observed behavior

i get the error:

hcloud: context create is an interactive command

Minimal working example

we use this in our gitlab ci pipeline where hcloud is installed via brew brew install hcloud:

HCLOUD_TOKEN="${TF_VAR_hcloud_token}" hcloud context create gitlab-ci <<<"Y"

Log output

$ HCLOUD_TOKEN="${TF_VAR_hcloud_token}" hcloud context create gitlab-ci <<<"Y"
hcloud: context create is an interactive command
