Environment variable definitions files
Visual Studio Code supports environment variable definitions files for Python projects. You create a file with the extension .env, and Visual Studio Code applies the environment variables within this .env file at run time. For more information, see Environment variable definitions file in the Visual Studio Code documentation.
The Databricks extension for Visual Studio Code uses the python.envFile setting for the location of an environment variable definitions file. The default value for this Visual Studio Code setting is {workspaceFolder}/.env, but you can modify it using the Settings editor or in settings.json. These environment variables are only applied when code is run locally.
