How Nodejs process.env works-CodePudding

I have a ENVIRONMENT Variable , which resolves the current stage inside the container in kubernetes. when i refer the variable inside code it always prints "dev" even when the actual value refers to "stage". inside container .

my helm variables :

profiles:
  - node
owner:
  group: gcp-admin # change to your own group
notify:
  slack:
    channelName: XXXXXXXX-ingestion # change to your own slack channel

build:
  docker:
    app:
      runtime: node
      buildArgs:
        nodeVersion: 14.17.1
        buildDir: '.'
deploy:
  helm:
    values:
      env:
        ENVIRONMENT: stage

my java script code goes like this..

env: process.env.ENVIRONMENT

when i write console.log(env) it always prints dev. the below image is what i get when i run describe pod

Seems your configuration looks old(varify the version). You can refer to the below doc.

env:
 - name: ENVIRONMENT
   value: "stage"

I did something similar but env name was “APP_ENV” instead and it works

  helm:
    values:
      env:
        APP_ENV: "staging" // or "development" or "production"

and in code

if (process.env.APP_ENV == "staging") {
