I was expecting an empty

labels

item but I don't see one

For context, I assign labels on deploy, but don't have them locally. In case labels just isn't there 100% of the time.

Hey @Tim Enders, I don’t think you can do this. You need to hit the GraphQL API to get the labels.

What do you do with the labels once you have them?

I am evaluating them in a state_handler. We define our git branch there and I can tell what is

master

or not

It looks like I can get the agent labels, which has the git branch as well

I see. I’m just throwing ideas out here, but maybe you can set the branch on the KV Store as well and pull it from there upon deployment?

Nah, I already have it available on deploy as an environment variable. But I don't have the envvar locally. The agent has empty labels locally so I SHOULD be able to use that and evaluate as a None for a local test
