automatically set default env in a project without manually selecting

[domeniczz]

there could be a feature that set the env to default if there's only one env config.

for example in the config http-client.env.json below, there is only one env defined, so the plugin can be smart enough to set dev as default env

{
  "dev": {
    // ...
  }
}

I do not find the feature useful. No environment is a valid environment for me (my default with local settings). Another point is that I want to minimize resource usage. I would have provided different alternatives that also achieve your desired behavior.

• use setting httpyac.environmentSelectedOnStart
• use .env instead of Intellij Config Files
• add a custom plugin using .httpyac.js which automatically sets your default environment, if it is not set

module.exports = {
    configureHooks: function (api) {
        api.hooks.parseEnd.addHook('set_env', function (context) {
            if (!context.httpFile.activeEnvironment || context.httpFile.activeEnvironment.length === 0) {
                context.httpFile.activeEnvironment = ['dev']
            }
        });
    }
}
