Managing Environment Variables For .NET Test

I'm trying to use environment variables for managing credentials in my open-source .NET project. I don't want to share the credentials in repository, via a config file. I'm familiar with setting the values in AppVeyor, but not for my local machine. In the Ruby world we use a .env file for managing environmental variables. Is there a similar approach in .NET?

Solution

  • It seems that the best way for me to handle this was to set the environment variables under System Properties > Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables. I can then set the same values in the Environment tab of AppVeyor.
