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

Hierarchy

Index

Properties(2)

persistent

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.

description

description: undefined | string | MarkdownString

A description for the environment variable collection, this will be used to describe the changes in the UI.

Methods(8)

replace

  • Replace an environment variable with a value.

    Note that an extension can only make a single change to any one variable, so this will overwrite any previous calls to replace, append or prepend.

    Parameters

    • variable: string

      The variable to replace.

    • value: string

      The value to replace the variable with.

    • Optional options: EnvironmentVariableMutatorOptions

      Options applied to the mutator, when no options are provided this will default to { applyAtProcessCreation: true }.

    Returns void

append

  • Append a value to an environment variable.

    Note that an extension can only make a single change to any one variable, so this will overwrite any previous calls to replace, append or prepend.

    Parameters

    • variable: string

      The variable to append to.

    • value: string

      The value to append to the variable.

    • Optional options: EnvironmentVariableMutatorOptions

      Options applied to the mutator, when no options are provided this will default to { applyAtProcessCreation: true }.

    Returns void

prepend

  • Prepend a value to an environment variable.

    Note that an extension can only make a single change to any one variable, so this will overwrite any previous calls to replace, append or prepend.

    Parameters

    • variable: string

      The variable to prepend.

    • value: string

      The value to prepend to the variable.

    • Optional options: EnvironmentVariableMutatorOptions

    Returns void

get

forEach

delete

  • delete(variable: string): void

clear

  • clear(): void

getScoped

  • Gets scope-specific environment variable collection for the extension. This enables alterations to terminal environment variables solely within the designated scope, and is applied in addition to (and after) the global collection.

    Each object obtained through this method is isolated and does not impact objects for other scopes, including the global collection.

    Parameters

    • scope: EnvironmentVariableScope

      The scope to which the environment variable collection applies to.

      If a scope parameter is omitted, collection applicable to all relevant scopes for that parameter is returned. For instance, if the 'workspaceFolder' parameter is not specified, the collection that applies across all workspace folders will be returned.

    Returns EnvironmentVariableCollection

    Environment variable collection for the passed in scope.
