I am trying to load my appsettings.test.json file on a test API and I am having problems reading environment variables. Works fine locally but when I push it to the Azure App Service I keep getting pointed to my dev appsettings.json file.
I will attach my settings below and the API call results I used to verify this issue. Every other custom value works aside ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT.

    Hello @Steve Odai

    I think that the valid environment variables are Development, Production, and Staging. For the value of "Test", you can add this to configuration --> appsettings or hardcode the file name 277714-image.png

    FYI, if anyone encounters this issue. My project was originally a .NET CORE 3.1 project, even after upgrading to 6 there were obviously still lingering files which wouldn't be cleared just because I targeted a newer framework.

    The culprit was my web.config file, it was overriding my ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT env variable.

    &lt;environmentVariables&gt;
&lt;environmentVariable name=&#34;ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT&#34; value=&#34;Development&#34; /&gt;
&lt;environmentVariable name=&#34;ASPNETCORE_HTTPS_PORT&#34; value=&#34;44364&#34; /&gt;
&lt;environmentVariable name=&#34;COMPLUS_ForceENC&#34; value=&#34;1&#34; /&gt;
&lt;/environmentVariables&gt;
