How can I load appsettings.Development.json?

[petro2050]

In the constructor of Startup.cs, I injected an IWebHostEnvironment and noticed the environment is set to Production. This happens in debug mode. As a result, I'm unable to load appsettings.Development.json. I'm not sure if this is an issue on your end or .NET 6 / VS2022.

In ConfigureServices, I need to configure services based on the environment (for example use local DynamoDb in Development).

Btw, this seems to be an issue with the unit test project only. When I debug the web api project, everything works. I also looked at debug settings for the unit test project and noticed ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT is set to Development. So what am I missing?

Hi there,
The issue that you are talking about has to do with how Visual Studio's Test Runner operates. It is not related to the project itself (although having launchSettings.json in the test project is confusing because it is not being used).
There is already a thread about this issue here, it seems like the current workaround is to read the JSON file manually.
