Brief Issue Summary

Setting environment variables in the CMake Tools settings has no effect on configuration or build.

Additional Information

My configuration is as follows (although, I've tried all of the environment variables).

{
    "cmake.environment": {
        "SKYRIM_MO2_MOD_PATH": "C:\\Users\\hello\\AppData\\Local\\ModOrganizer\\Skyrim Special Edition (2)\\mods"
    },
    "cmake.loggingLevel": "debug"
}

This simple CMake test fails when I do this:

message(STATUS "RAW: $ENV{SKYRIM_MO2_MOD_PATH}")

if(DEFINED ENV{SKYRIM_MO2_MOD_PATH})
  message(STATUS "SUCCESS! $ENV{SKYRIM_MO2_MOD_PATH}")
endif()

This is a duplicate of #2243. We are currently working on this and hope to have fixes and improvements out in the near future to make this more clear.

Thanks for posting this, but I'll close it as a duplicate of #2243. Thanks!
