Set environment variable in Visual Studio Code debugger on a Mac

Question

I want to use the VSCode debugger and want to set the environment variables before launching the app. The configuration in the Launch folder looks something like this.

 { "name": "Launch on iOS", "type": "nativescript", "request": "launch", "platform": "ios", "appRoot": "${workspaceRoot}", "sourceMaps": true, "watch": true, "environment": [ { "BUILD_ENV": "local" } ] }

This doesn't seem to work though. I am using a Mac.

You mean the webpack environment variables? Have you defined BUILD_ENV in your webpack.config.js? If yes, then try adding "tnsArgs":["--bundle", "--env.BUILD_ENV=local"]. — Manoj

Perhaps this works:

"env": { "BUILD_ENV": "local" }

or

"envFile": "${workspaceFolder}/.env",

or

"osx": { "environment": [ { "name": "", "value": "" } ] },

See platform-specific properties.

env isn't recognized either. I dont have separate env file. The variable is defined in the package.json

So just typing "env" does that bring up any intellisense for a likely environment variable? I get both of the above options.

I also just found the "osx" option above as well from: stackoverflow.com/questions/29971572/… [upvote the last answer.]

Tried this "osx": { "environment": [ { "name": "BUILD_ENV", "value": "local" }, { "BUILD_ENV": "local" } ] }
