Being able to change the config file to be used when running a test via Test Explorer #6

In Jasmine. You can specify the configuration to use by updating the setting.json file within the code base.

In this example

"jasmineExplorer.env": { "NODE_ENV":"int" } It will go looking for the int.json file in the config folder. If no file is found it looks for the default.json config.

If you launch a cucumber test via using a launch.json file you can specify a config / environmental variables within there.

"configurations": [
{ "env": { "NODE_ENV":"int" } }

Is there a way of when running a test via Test Explorer, Run Test for Cucumber to pick up a launch.json config OR to utilise a setting.json file and use the environmental variables?

Unfortunately not right now, I'm actually planning to add some configuration options to the extension. Given your request I may also add a configuration to specify environment variables.

In the meantime I think you could work around this limitation by using a JavaScript configuration file for cucumber and loading an .env file using the dotenv library.

I guess it should work, not exactly what you asked for, but it may allow you to run your tests from the Test Explorer.

New to Typescript and creating VSIX but I've had a go at a pull request. https://github.com/Balrog994/cucumber-test-runner/pull/7
