An environment is a named, project-scoped deployment target you attach to test runs and reports — for example, Staging, Production, or QA EU. Each environment can carry an optional base URL that links results back to a running service.
Reaching the screen
Open a project, then click Environments in the project sidebar. The URL is /projects/:projectId/environments.
The environments list
The list shows every environment in the project as a table with the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Display name of the environment |
| Slug | URL-safe identifier unique within the project (e.g. staging, prod-eu) |
| Base URL | Optional URL pointing to the deployed service |
| Description | Optional free-text description |
| Default | A badge marks the project’s default environment |
Use the search input at the top to filter by name. The rows-per-page selector and the range summary always show once the list is long enough to paginate; the previous/next and page-number controls appear only when the list spans more than one page.
Creating an environment
- Click New environment (visible to members and above; viewers see a read-only list).
- Enter a Name. As you type, Probara derives the Slug automatically — for example,
Pre Prodbecomespre-prod. - Optionally override the slug by editing it directly. Once you edit the slug field manually, it stops auto-updating when the name changes.
- Fill in an optional Description and Base URL.
- Toggle Default if this environment should be the project default.
- Click Create.
Slug rules: slugs must be lowercase alphanumeric with hyphens (^[a-z0-9]+(-[a-z0-9]+)*$) and must be unique within the project. If a slug is already in use, an inline error appears on that field and the dialog stays open.
Setting the default environment
Only one environment can be the project default at a time. Toggle Default during creation or edit. Promoting a new environment to default automatically demotes the previous one — no manual step required.
Editing an environment
Click the Edit button (pencil icon) on any row to open the edit dialog. All fields are editable. The slug field does not re-derive from the name when you change it — it stays as-is unless you update it explicitly.
Validation works the same as on create: a slug collision surfaces as an inline error.
Deleting an environment
Click the Delete button (trash icon) on the row you want to remove. A confirmation dialog names the environment and asks you to confirm. Click Delete to proceed, or Cancel to return to the list without changes.
Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone from the UI.
