I don't think there's any way to do this currently. Currently the extension just uses the environment that VS Code was launched with. PRs for a new configuration option to specify additional env vars to pass through to the go test invocation welcome.

Setting env variables via the configuration settings for the tests to use would apply the same env vars to all tests in the project.
Would that be the most common scenario or different tests needing different env vars be more common?
If it is the latter, we can prompt the user for entering the env vars when the test commands are triggered. And whether to prompt or not can be controlled via the configuration settings

thanks @lukehoban @ramya-rao-a ,I want to use env variables for all tests in current workspace.
but can't setting env variables via the configuration settings now.
e.g init run mode ,first check Is there a set env var runMode . different run mode use different config. runMode=test => config= app.test.config .

@ysqi , Just to clarify ..

e.g init run mode ,first check Is there a set env var runMode . different run mode use different config. runMode=test => config= app.test.config

What you mean is in your case you would like to set an env var "runMode" and based on its value your tests would use different configs correct?

And not that you would like a feature where vscode picks up different config files based on the runMode setting

@ramya-rao-a the config file is that my application's file, not about vscode.

@ysqi This feature is now available in the latest version of the Go extension : 0.6.44
