Setting environment variables for integrated terminal

I am seeking help figuring out how to setup environment variables for integrated terminal within Visual Studio Code. Currently I am able to do so with .env file inside my workspace folder, but I'd like to change the filename for this file and create another one or two, let's say dev.env and prod.env. Setting "python.envFile" for my workspace doesn't do the trick and from what I understand changing things in launch.json is for debugging.

The overall goal of all this (and that is important) is to run flask shell (integrated shell for flask web framework, python) with a certain set of env variables and be able to change them by swapping files. I know I could set these by introducing "terminal.integrated.env.osx" to my workspace settings, but I'd rather get these variables from a file.

Thanks a lot for your time and help.

UPD >>

I guess one way to go about it would be to create two tasks as such:


// See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
// for the documentation about the tasks.json format
"version": "2.0.0",
"tasks": [

"label": "FLASK SHELL DEV",
"type": "shell",
"command": "source $workspaceFolder/dev.env && $config:python.pythonPath -m flask shell",
"problemMatcher":
,

"label": "FLASK SHELL PROD",
"type": "shell",
"command": "source $workspaceFolder/prod.env && $config:python.pythonPath -m flask shell",
"problemMatcher":

]



but the question stands. Is there a way to do the same with integrated terminal?

If you don't want to set environment variables using the terminal you can do it using configuration files.
