How to set environment variables when running node.js app in vs2019

[sabrogden]

I have a very simple node.js console app that most of the time and others on our team run in vsCode. This is just a folder with an index.js and package.json.

I would like to run this in visual studio. The problem I'm having is how to configure the environment variables and command line options. In vsCode we have a configuration in launch.json that defines things, this works good in vsCode.

But in visual studio I'm not sure how to set these. I have tried to set values in launch.vs.json but I'm not seeing the environment variables loading.

{
"version": "0.2.1",
"defaults": {},
"configurations": [
{
"type": "nodeDbg",
"name": "Test.1",
"project": "index.js",
"projectTarget": "index.js",
"environment": {
"TEST_ENV": "test"
},
"args": [ "--JobKey=x", "--OverrideOrganizationId=y" ]
}
]
}

I'm not seeing the environment variables or args populating. Is this the correct way to set these? Different tags?
