vitest.commandLine is gone in 0.5?

[appcoders]

Describe the bug

In my package.json I defined

    "test": "DOTENV_CONFIG_PATH=.env.testing LOG_LEVEL=debug vitest",

and in vscode settings:

"vitest.commandLine": "yarn test --"

This works on vitest vscode 0.4.2 - on newer versions >0.5 the vitest.commandLine is gone and tests cannot be loaded at all because the environment variables are missing.

Reproduction

See above.

Yes, vitest.commandLine doesn't exists anymore as an option.

@sheremet-va Thanks - so what is the migration path to inject environment variables?

[sheremet-va]

vitest.nodeEnv is still supported

[appcoders]

@sheremet-va Besides the fact, it would be cumbersome to manage environment variables in two different files, it does not work:

The extension doesn't use Vitest CLI, so it is not possible to define a command line. If you have an environment-specific env, the recommended way is to define a .env.{name} file: https://vitejs.dev/guide/env-and-mode.html#env-files

It is picked up automatically.

If your test environment is different, you can have a .env.test file:

VITE_DOLPHIN_URL=url

it does not work

I cannot help you without a reproduction. vitest.nodeEnv works on my side:

I use a custom bash script to configure my test environment. Using a command line option would be very valuable to me. It's normal for integration test suites to require advanced configured to run tests. Thanks for the repo, just putting in my two cents!

[sheremet-va]

It's normal for integration test suites to require advanced configured to run tests.

Could you move it to globalSetup? If not, would an option to just run something before tests be enough?

1. Run external code
2. Start Vitest watcher
3. Run teardown when vscode is closed (NOT after each test run)

[mwood23]

Maybe if I had a before tests thing to set environmental variables. My API integration test suite is pretty complicated to setup so the bash script is definitely preferable compared to spawning child process and doing that sorta stuff in global setup.
