bug?: `import.meta.env.VAR` does not work

[vladimirleonidovich]

What version of HonoX are you using?

0.1.40

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Create .env.local with the following contents:

DB_PASSWORD="secret"

Create simple console.log in / route like this:

console.log(import.meta.env.DB_PASSWORD)

What is the expected behavior?

secret gets printed.

What do you see instead?

undefined gets printed.

Additional information

VITE_ prefixed environment variables are created to be exposed in client code so prefixing DB_PASSWORD with VITE_ would be a bad idea but in this case I have to. So I guess it’s bug?

Hi @vladimirleonidovich

I'll investigate it. Are you using @hono/vite-dev-server with Vite?

[vladimirleonidovich]

@yusukebe hello there!
I do, of course.

This issue is related to @hono/vite-dev-server. I'll transfer this.

You are right. And it's not a bug. It's hard to use, but it's expected behavior. For this case, you have to add VITE_ prefix.
