I am trying to run my end to end tests against the real environment using VS2019 in the IDE. The tests are located in separate test project within the main solution.

So I was trying to load environment variables using below two methods:

Method 1

Update launchSettings.json in the test project

{
  "profiles": {
    "My.Endpoint.Tests": {
      "commandName": "Project",
      "environmentVariables": {
        "ServerName": "Apim"

      }
    }
  }
}

Method 2

Create below cmd file and add it to the project and then call same in Build Events - Pre-build event command-line: in the test project properties.

set ServerName=Apim

Unfortunately none of the above methods can read the given environment variable when execute the tests via VS2019 IDE
