Azure App Service scenarios to Load Environment Variables from App Settings After Update
I'm trying to implement I'm trying to implement I'm working through a tutorial and I'm currently working with an scenario with my Azure App Service running a Node.js application where it seems that the environment variables defined in the App Settings are not being loaded after I deployed a new version of the app. I can confirm that the environment variables are correctly set in the Azure portal under Configuration > Application settings, but when I try to access them in my code, they return as `undefined`. I have verified that my deployment process includes the step to push the latest changes using Azure DevOps, and I also checked that the `NODE_ENV` variable is set to `production`. Here’s how I’m trying to access the environment variables in my code: ```javascript const express = require('express'); const app = express(); const port = process.env.PORT || 3000; const myVar = process.env.MY_ENV_VAR; app.get('/', (req, res) => { res.send(`The value of MY_ENV_VAR is: ${myVar}`); }); app.listen(port, () => { console.log(`Server is running on port ${port}`); }); ``` When I run this in my local environment, it outputs the correct value for `MY_ENV_VAR`, but on Azure, it returns `The value of MY_ENV_VAR is: undefined`. I also tried restarting the App Service after the deployment, but the scenario continues. Could this be related to the configuration settings possibly being cached or something in my deployment pipeline? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! I'm coming from a different tech stack and learning Javascript. What's the best practice here? Any ideas what could be causing this? This is for a application running on Ubuntu 22.04. Any ideas what could be causing this?
