Is there any way to set environment variables in Visual Studio Code?

Question

Could you please help me, how to setup environment variables in visual studio code?

Answer 1

My response is fairly late. I faced the same problem. I am on Windows 10. This is what I did:

• Open a new Command prompt (CMD.EXE)
• Set the environment variables . set myvar1=myvalue1
• Launch VS Code from that Command prompt by typing code and then press ENTER
• VS code was launched and it inherited all the custom variables that I had set in the parent CMD window

Optionally, you can also use the Control Panel -> System properties window to set the variables on a more permanent basis

Hope this helps.

As it does not answer your question but searching vm arguments I stumbled on this page and there seem to be no other. So if you want to pass vm arguments its like so

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "type": "java",
      "name": "ddtBatch",
      "request": "launch",
      "mainClass": "com.something.MyApplication",
      "projectName": "MyProject",
      "args": "Hello",
      "vmArgs": "-Dspring.config.location=./application.properties"
    }
  ]
}
