Update more specifically:

I added SpecFlow project along with the application project in the same solution.

The expectation is that while the application project (i.e. ASP .Net API project extract a specific environment variable, I need the specFlow project can get the same environment variable as well and then kick off the SpecFlow tests for that test environment. 

I don't have a solution for this yet.

Below is the context:

Visual Studio 2022 Enterprise. SpecFlow Nunit 3.9

Under ABC solution:

- ApplicationAPI project

- SpecFlow.Test project

Environment Variables could be: Local, Dev, Test, Pre, Prod.

How can I get different environment to load different  configuration  from "appsettings.{env.EnvironmentName}.json" in the specFlow project

config.AddJsonFile($"appsettings.{env.EnvironmentName}.json", optional: true, reloadOnChange: true);

  What exactly do you want to be dependent on a value of an environment variable?

  You always can use `Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable` in your bindings.

  Hi, Andreas,

  Can you please elaborate more details about this? 

  According to .Net reference https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.environment.getenvironmentvariable?view=net-6.0#system-environment-getenvironmentvariable(system-string)

  GetEnvironmentVariable (string variable);

  what string variable should I put in here? How do I set Environment Variable for a specflow project on a machine?

  Thanks
