Is the `$env` variable available at the top-level in TypeScript tests?

[danidiaz]

The Using environment variables section of the docs gives an example of a TypeScript configuration that uses $env:

export const scenarios = [{
  flow: [{
    get: {
      url: '/',
      headers: {
        'x-api-key': '{{ $env.SERVICE_API_KEY }}'
      }
    }
  }]

However, I can's get it to work. Trying to console.log($env) results in

Error: $env is not defined

When running the test. Is this an oversight in the docs?

$env does seem to be available as a field of the VUContext that the test function receives (I'm using the Playwright engine).

$env is a template variable, i.e. it's only available inside string templates, not as a regular JS/TS variable. If you need to access environment variables directly from code you can use process.env instead - https://nodejs.org/api/environment_variables.html
