Just found out `runtime.envType` in a _development_ account returns `PRODUCTION` :scream:. Anyone know the best practice to determine if a script is running in a development environment?

I set a flag on the script deployment record because I don't trust what's returned from the API

Ideally you wouldn't need to know if you're in prod or not except for testing purposes and even then you need to be careful.

thanks Craig! I think I'm going to try to compare accountId since that differs between development and production

I think development accounts are technically production type accounts. There is no -SB suffix either

Yeah that really tripped me up since I just moved my company's staging integration from sandbox to a development account! It was trying to send data to our production app :facepalm:

beware the other way around after its moved to production

refreshed sandbox gets production configuration

Yup, after that happened I added a script parameter for environment and script terminates if it doesn't match

Yeah now I'm checking against both runtime.envtype *and* runtime.accountId

I wasn't sure off the top of my head what accountid is returned in sandbox (if it includes the _sb suffix so figured safe than sorry)
