How to disable .env file autoloading?

[karolzlot]

This file is autoloaded by vscode when I debug code or run tests vai test explorer (but not when I e.g. run pytest from terminal)

I can read in documentation:

By default, the Python extension looks for and loads a file named .env in the current workspace folder, then applies those definitions. The file is identified by the default entry "python.envFile": "${workspaceFolder}/.env" in your user settings (see General Python settings). You can change the python.envFile setting at any time to use a different definitions file.

How I can disable this behaviour? I need it because I want to be sure that .env file will be loaded correctly by python code even without help of vscode.

You can probably set python.envFile to a file path that doesn't exist.

If I set it to empty it seems to work as desired. I think it would be helpful to have it in documentation. But not sure.

If you're up for either opening a feature request here or at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs we can definitely consider it.

Set python.envFile empty.
