Cloudflare: Environment variables starting with `NITRO_` are not passed to runtimeConfig

nitropack: 2.9.6

Describe the bug

Environment variables dont seem to work on Cloudflare:

export default defineNitroConfig({
  runtimeConfig: {
    myVar: ''
  },
});

This works locally with .env:

NITRO_MY_VAR="Hello world"

But deployed to Cloudflare with the environment set in Cloudflare Dashboard it stays empty. Using the following workaround it works:

  runtimeConfig: {
    myVar: process.env.NITRO_MY_VAR,
  },

But what would then the purpose of defining NITRO_ env vars in the first place when they are not auto "injected"?

Do you call runtimeConfig(event) inside an event handler? Due to how late cloudflare provides environment (during request) it is a limitation.

[MickL]

I do not. It works with the example above so in nuxt/nitro config the process env is there?

See also https://github.com/Atinux/nuxt-env-repro which gives this output (called from inside an event handler):

{
  "runtimeConfig().hello": "",
  "runtimeConfig(event).hello": "world",
  "process.env.NUXT_HELLO": "world"
}

might be you want to ensure NITRO_ env vars are passed to runtimeConfig by reassign them on request hook.

i'm facing only my env vars are passed to runtimeConfig.

and i reassign them to ensure they are all passed and voila, they are there all inside runtimeConfig.
