Hey guys, any idea how to set environment variables (.env) in a Kotlin JS node project? I've tried adding a .env file at the root of the project, but the server code is not picking up the variables from

process.env

. Cheers!

we do

external val process: dynamic

then we have a function that converts

process.env

from dynamic to

Map<String, String>

but thats not necessary

Yup, I forgot to mention I already have

external val process: dynamic

in the server code's file. Unfortunately

process.env.PORT

doesn't seem to return anything. For reference, here is the structure of my project:

- server <--- project name
  - src
    - main
      - kotlin
        - main.kt <--- server code
  - .env

And this is the content of my .env file:

PORT=8000

does

process.env

contain anything or just not your env variables? Personally I don’t actually run node directly in the build script, its an aws env

process.env

contains all other things except my env variables. I'd imagine this could have to do with where the .env file is placed in the project?

It might be where the file is placed but i suspect you have to actually tell the run task (or gradle) that it should load that env file and use it

Yup. Thanks all the same. I'll keep digging and revert as soon as I find something
