Anyone know how to set environment variables for running and debugging Node.js applications in Eclipse + Nodeclipse aka Enide Studio? For example, in a .js file, an environment variable can be referenced as process.env.PORT
, for the environment variable PORT. How can I specify this variable within Enide?
I found the solution to my question. First, go to the menu item File > Properties
. Then select Run/Debug Settings
from the options on the left of the dialog. Then select the .js
file for which you want to set an environment variable during debugging/running programs in Enide Studio / Eclipse + Nodeclipse. Then select the [Edit]
button. On the dialog that appears, select the [Environment]
tab. Then select the [New]
button and enter in your desired variable name and value. Repeat for multiple environment variables. Click [Apply]
, then try running your program. Your environment values should be available as process.env.YOUR_VARIABLE_NAME
in your Node.js source code.
