Set Node.js environment variables in WebStorm

Is there any way to set environment variables when running a Node.js app using JetBrains' official Node plugin for WebStorm (and their other IDEs as well)?

I'm new to JetBrains products, i'm not sure if this is the official solution.

Sharing the steps I took resolve this issue.

Note: I'm using NPM package manager.

In WebStorm menu, go to Run -> Edit Configuration -> click + -> npm

then provide the following fields:

  • Package.json
  • Command: run
  • Scripts: start
  • Environment: MY_ENV_NAME=123456

Click Ok

Then select the run configuration:

Finally got the nodejs server up and running: enter image description here

No, it's not possible from WebStorm, environment variables should be defined in your system.

UPDATE: in the new versions it's possible to set environment variables in the Run/Debug configuration.
