Viper Panic if env variable is not found - Aurora Blog|java/go/python

Preflight Checklist

[X] I have searched the issue tracker for an issue that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Problem Description

If a vital env variable is missing when we attempt to bind it, such as a token or secret, we should be able to call a function such as viper.BindPanicIfNotFound(s). The existing viper.MustBindEnv(s) is confusing as it will not panic even if the env variable is not there, only if the string passed in is empty.

Proposed Solution

func bindEnvAndPanicIfNot(s string) {
    viper.MustBindEnv(s)

    if viper.GetString(s) == "" {
        panic("Missing environment variable: " + s)
    }
}
