go.testEnvFile doesn't substitute nested env variables #1902

Python extension supports a similar feature and seems convenient. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/environments#_environment-variable-definitions-file We've been relying on VSCode's variable substitution functionality but In order to implement this feature, the extension needs to implement its own envFile parsing. I don't think we can implement all the substitution VSCode offers (unless VSCode exposes the variable substitution logic as an API), but we can do what Python extension offers (e.g. handle For example, here we call |

@hyangah Would it be okay if give it a try, given the issue is still open? On a side note: Simply adding a func and doing this to substitute variables should work, right?

@n1lesh Great. Help is greatly appreciated! Hmm, indeed, python's substituteEnvVars implementation offers is slightly different from the description in the user documentation. I am confused. I think adding substituteEnvVars like python and call it for each line read from env file should work. You will need to pass baseline env vars equivalent to globalVars (probably toolsExecutionEnvVars) too to pick up env vars defined in the global vars. |

A clear and concise description of what the bug.
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
When using environmental variables with tests (setting "go.testEnvFile": ".env"), if the env file contains variables built off of others, they don't get replaced. Eg. If you have the following:
PORT=1234 DB_URL=localhost:$PORTWhat gets loaded into the environment for the DB_URL is the literal string "localhost:$PORT" without substitution.
Additionally, the only mention of how to use environmental variables for tests is the final two comments on this PR implementing it. It should be added to docs somewhere.
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
