AWS Elastic Beanstalk Environment Variables loading optimization in Node.js Application
I'm wondering if anyone has experience with I'm trying to figure out I've been working on this all day and I'm reviewing some code and I'm currently working with an scenario where the environment variables set in my AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment are not being loaded in my Node.js application....... I've verified that the environment variables are correctly configured in the Elastic Beanstalk console under 'Configuration' > 'Software'. However, when I try to access them using `process.env.MY_VARIABLE`, it returns `undefined`. My application is deployed using Node.js version 14.x. I've tried restarting the environment and even re-deploying the application, but the question continues. The `package.json` file contains the necessary dependencies, and I'm using `dotenv` to manage local environment variables for development, but I have commented out the dotenv loading lines in production. Here’s a snippet of how I am trying to access the environment variables: ```javascript const express = require('express'); const app = express(); app.get('/', (req, res) => { const myVariable = process.env.MY_VARIABLE; if (!myVariable) { return res.status(500).send('Environment variable MY_VARIABLE is not set!'); } res.send(`The value of MY_VARIABLE is: ${myVariable}`); }); const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000; app.listen(PORT, () => { console.log(`Server is running on port ${PORT}`); }); ``` In the logs, I don't see any errors related to environment variable loading. I also checked the `.ebextensions` folder to ensure there are no configuration scripts that might overwrite these variables. Is there a specific approach or configuration I might be missing to ensure my environment variables are accessible within the application? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm working on a application that needs to handle this. Thanks in advance! I'd be grateful for any help. I'm developing on Linux with Javascript. I'd really appreciate any guidance on this. I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 using the latest version of Javascript.
