Easily reload .env

[giovesoft]

Many times I have to update my .env for various reasons...
It would be great to have a "reload .env" button to not close and reopen Bruno to do that.

Hi @giovesoft - you shouldn't need to reload Bruno for this at all. As long as you're saving the text file in whichever editor you're using, the updates are automatic. See video here: https://app.screencast.com/Q8UI1pUFWmxfl

Could you confirm the version of Bruno you're using as well as your operating system. Perhaps this is a bug?

[giovesoft]

yes using directly the {{process.env.key_name}} as is in the example it works.

But if you define the property in the environment (top right dropdown combo) then it is not refreshing.
e.g.
this is defined in the DEV env
x_api_key={{process.env.DEV_X_API_KEY}}

this is defined in the STAGING env
x_api_key={{process.env.STAGING_X_API_KEY}}

DEV_X_API_KEY and STAGING_X_API_KEY are defined in the .env file as

DEV_X_API_KEY=1
STAGING_X_API_KEY=2

if you change DEV_X_API_KEY=1 to DEV_X_API_KEY=A the change is not refrected automatically.
Sometime it works by selecting different enviroments in the top right dropdown, sometime changing the collection...but not always.

Thanks @giovesoft - would you mind submitting a bug report for this?

Thanks, I'm still not able to reproduce and it is automatically updated for me. Can you confirm what version and OS you are on?

You are right, everything is working as expected.
Probably there was a problem somewhere else.

Glad it's sorted! I'll close this.
