Environment Variables aren't being read

[ShubhamPalriwala]

Actual Behavior:

It comes from here as:

config.loadFile(path.join(__dirname, `config.${process.env.NODE_ENV}.json`));

...

Expected Behavior:

The app should make use of the dotenv package and read the dotenv vars and replace the config.undefined.json accordingly!

...

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Clone the repo and cd into it
2. Install deps using npm i
3. Replace ZAP API KEY with your own and then run npm start
4. You should get the same error ...

Environment:

• Specific purpleteam project and version? purpleteam@main
• Running locally or in the cloud? Locally
• Details of your specific System Under Test (SUT)?
• Which purpleteam components are running on which Operating System and version?
• Anything else that will set the stage for us understanding your context?

Additional Details:

If the problem is universal then I can open a PR introducing the dotenv package and a sample.env file!

Checklist

• [x] I have read the documentation.

Hi @ShubhamPalriwala

Is there a reason why you are trying to run the app-scanner by itself and outside of the container? Your repro steps are incorrect.

The environment variable is applied when the compose file is run.

Please read and follow the documentation before you tick the "I have read the documentation" box.
