I've a ASP.NET core console application that I run in a container on Kubernetes. In the deployment.yaml I've set the environment variable:
env:
- name: "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT"
value: "Development"And in the console application I've the following code:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Env: " + Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT"));
}
But the ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT is empty, how can I get to the configured environment variable? I use the same steps in a core webapi project and there I get the variable as follow:
public Startup(IHostingEnvironment env)
{
env.EnvironmentName
}
This works in the core webapi but I don't have IHostingEnvironment in the console app.
I've kind of found the 'reason' I guess. I wanted to read the "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT in the "static Program()" method, there it was empty. But when I do the same in the "void Main(string[] args)" method it is set and it works as expected.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string env = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT");
}
We use this template to run a ASP.NET Core App in our Kubernetes cluster:
