Description
Behaviour
If I restart VS Code and modify the .env file, the new variable values from the .env file do not get applied to my FastAPI application.
Steps to reproduce problem:
- Go to the vs code settings tab and make sure that the Python:Env File field has the value
${workspaceFolder}/.env
- Create a .env file and add the variable
MY_VAR=1. - Save the file.
- Close VS Code by right-clicking the VS Code icon and selecting "Quit".
- Open VS Code.
- Change the variable
MY_VARin the .env file toMY_VAR=2. - Enter the command
echo $MY_VARin the terminal.
Description
I had to spend around two days troubleshooting an issue where VS Code automatically sets environment variables at terminal launch, causing non-obvious code behavior.
Considering that most of the audience are junior and middle-level developers, I believe many might face this problem. Is there a way to make this feature more explicit, such as prompting the user to enable or disable this setting? Or maybe we can make it opt-in instead of opt-out?
