This PR

  • Config.fallBackToEnvOrDefault(String, int) and (String, long): catch NumberFormatException and log an error containing the env var name, the invalid value, the expected type and the default that is applied.
  • New Config.fallBackToEnvOrDefault(String, boolean): only accepts true/false (case-insensitive) and logs an error for any other value. Previously Boolean.parseBoolean silently treated any value other than true (e.g. yes, 1) as false.
  • FlagdOptions: tls and reinitializeOnError now use the boolean helper. DEFAULT_TLS and DEFAULT_REINITIALIZE_ON_ERROR became boolean constants (package-private, no public API change).

Example output:

ERROR dev.openfeature.contrib.providers.flagd.Config - Invalid value 'abc' for environment variable FLAGD_DEADLINE_MS: expected an integer. Falling back to default value '500'.
ERROR dev.openfeature.contrib.providers.flagd.Config - Invalid value 'yes' for environment variable FLAGD_TLS: expected 'true' or 'false'. Falling back to default value 'false'.

When flagd options are provided via environment variables and the value cannot be parsed, the provider silently fell back to the default value. This PR adds an ERROR log entry for such misconfigurations, as suggested in the issue, since they require user intervention and can lead to unexpected behavior.

Related Issues

Closes: #1673

Notes

  • Log level is ERROR, following the preference expressed in the issue.
  • Existing WARN logs for FLAGD_RESOLVER, FLAGD_COMPILE_TARGETING and the port fallbacks are left untouched. The port case is intentionally lenient because of Kubernetes service-link env injection (fix: correct grace-period/max-retry-backoff defaults to prevent log spam #1835).
  • Fallback behavior is unchanged: invalid values still resolve to the default.

How to test

Added tests in FlagdOptionsTest.InvalidEnvironmentVariables covering invalid int, decimal int, invalid long, invalid boolean and case-insensitive boolean parsing.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The flagd configuration now uses typed boolean defaults, validates numeric and boolean environment values, logs invalid values, and falls back to defaults. FlagdOptions uses the boolean results directly. Tests cover invalid values and case-insensitive boolean parsing.

Changes

flagd environment fallback handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Typed environment fallback logic
providers/flagd/src/main/java/dev/openfeature/contrib/providers/flagd/Config.java
Boolean defaults now use boolean values. Numeric parsing handles NumberFormatException. Boolean parsing accepts case-insensitive true and false. Invalid values are logged before fallback.
Option wiring and fallback tests
providers/flagd/src/main/java/dev/openfeature/contrib/providers/flagd/FlagdOptions.java, providers/flagd/src/test/java/dev/openfeature/contrib/providers/flagd/FlagdOptionsTest.java
FlagdOptions uses boolean fallback results directly. Tests cover invalid integer, long, and boolean values, plus case-insensitive boolean parsing.

Invalid long-valued environment settings produce a misleading error message, but runtime fallback behavior remains correct.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Describe the expected long type correctly.

This overload uses Long.parseLong, but the error states that it expected "an integer". This does not identify the expected long type or its range. Change the message argument to "a long integer".
