Interface EnvironmentVariableCollection

A collection of mutations that an extension can apply to a process environment.

Hierarchy

  • EnvironmentVariableCollection

Index

Properties

persistent: boolean

Whether the collection should be cached for the workspace and applied to the terminal across window reloads. When true the collection will be active immediately such when the window reloads. Additionally, this API will return the cached version if it exists. The collection will be invalidated when the extension is uninstalled or when the collection is cleared. Defaults to true.

Methods

  • append(variable: string, value: string): void
  • Append a value to an environment variable.

  • prepend(variable: string, value: string): void
