Unable to access configuration values with azure functions

I'm trying to deploy a static web app with functions as an api, however I seem to be having issues in accessing the configuration values in the functions with the process.env .

loca.settings.json and configuration page in azure portal

and here is how I'm retrieving it:

Locally it is working, but when I deploy to azure it is not.

Also when editing a function that is already deployed to azure (or creating a new one) and then pushing to github my github action fails

Any feedback and suggestions would be appreciated.
