QHOME environment variable and kdb.qHomeDirectory setting are identical from the viewpoint of VS Code and they are used in:
- REPL
- Bundled q connections
to locate the q executable.
When QHOME is set through operating system, QHOME will always be used instead of kdb.qHomeDirectory for both use cases.
kdb.qHomeDirectory setting is in machine-overridable scope which means it can be set differently per remote machine or per workspace.
If not set on a remote machine, user settings take precedence. For more information see VS Code documentaion.
For REPL, a workspace .env file can also be used to set QHOME environment variable.
