How do I add environment variables to launch.json in VSCode
I'm successfully passing them using the env property in launch.json:
{ "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "type": "pwa-node", "request": "launch", "name": "Launch Program", "skipFiles": [ "<node_internals>/**" ], "program": "${workspaceFolder}/index.js", "env": { "TEST_VAR": "foo" } } ]}
this is working
just add the following
"env": { "NODE_ENV": "development" }
"configurations": [ { "type": "node", "request": "launch", "name": "Launch Program", //TODO: cmd as launch program "skipFiles": [ "<node_internals>/**" ], "program": "${workspaceFolder}\\index.js", "env": { "NODE_ENV": "development" } }]
There seems to be a problem with environment variables on Windows (and probably on linux). It does work on OS X. We are investigating. Expect a fix soon.
Update (June 2, 2015): Visual Studio Code 0.3.0 contains a fix for this.
