proxy target does not resolve process.env.ROOT_API

[sandroden]

Hi,

I just realized that I cannot use process.env in quasar.conf.js. I was trying to set the proxy via an env variable set via @quasar/qenv.

My conf was:

devServer: {
  proxy: {
    '/media': {
      // target: process.env.ROOT_API,  // this doesn not work
      target: 'http://127.0.0.1:8000',
      changeOrigin: true,
      logLevel: 'debug'
    }
  },

Is there some more steps I should do to use process.env in quasar.conf.js (it’s working correctly in boot file in axios)?

thanks in advance
sandro

@sandroden did you check this out yet? https://quasar.dev/quasar-cli/cli-documentation/handling-process-env#Adding-to-process.env

Thanks, I read it when but clearly w/o enough attention… I tested it now and in fact within quasar.conf.js process.env sees already the variables. So the problem seems related to qenv that doesn’t propagate the env variable early enough. Do I interpret it correctly?

I ran into this issue as well. I did this at the top of quasar.conf.js. You then can access your env on the new variable. Sorry for necro just thought it might help someone.

const envFile = require('./.quasar.env.json')
const env = envFile[process.env.QENV]
