Environment shortcut . doesn't work with variable:create

[arnested]

When trying to set a variable in the default environment, the shortcut . is not recognized.

Using main works, though. But the shortcut is nicer when scripting across projects where the default environment could vary.

$ platform variable:create --level=environment --environment=. --name=env:FOO --value=bar
Selecting default environment (indicated by .)
Selected environment: main (type: production)


  [InvalidValueException]
  . is not one of: main, plausible, pr-110, pr-122, pr-65

I'm using 5.0.14.

@linear closed this as not planned

Hmm… Most commands do accept . as a shorthand. It's even documented on https://docs.platform.sh/administration/cli/reference.html:

--environment (-e) (expects a value) The environment ID. Use “.” to select the project’s default environment.

So even if it's not planned, please reconsider and reopen so the variable:create command will adhere to the documentation and work as we are used to from other CLI commands.
