Lesson 6: Brownie Fund Me - Unable to expand environment variable in host setting

[realglass]

Hi!!

At around 5:15 I am encountering this error. Any help, please? Error: Unable to expand environment variable in host setting

Hello @realglass
Usually the export keyword is used for Unix based systems, linux and Mac... so please delete de export keyword, and also delete the spaces between =.
Finally as you are on Windows is preferable to add those variables trough windows advanced configuration into Environment Variables.
Cheers.

Hi @cromewar
Thank you for your reply! Truly appreciated. Unfortunately, the problems still persist. After removing the export most of the errors stopped but 1 still persists. Also when I remove the spaces between the = and save they reappear again. Also, note that the environmental variables were set using the advanced configuration. Any idea?

2 things:
Install the env extension on the vscode extension store,
and also remember to save the brownie-config.yaml and add the dotenv identifier.

Does it works even if the editor complains?
