Where do processEnv variables need to be defined? #675

When using processEnv variables such as Authorization: {{$processEnv PRODSECRET}} where does the PRODSECRET environment variable need to be defined?

For example it seems like # 1 is the only way that works:

In ~/.bashrc:
```
export PRODSECRET=abcd
```
In terminal before running VSCode:
```
export PRODSECRET=abcd
vscode
```
In VSCode terminal:
```
export PRODSECRET=abcd
```

Any update on getting this fixed? would be awesome if I didn't have to redefine variables that are already set
