Setting Env vars from windows

[agardnerIT]

Hi all 👋 I have the following devcontainer.json and I set my vars on windows with set FOO=bar and set FOO5=bar5
Then in vscode I "reopen folder in container". I don't want / need to use both containerEnv and remoteEnv - I understand I should probably use containerEnv but the use of both here is really just me trying to debug.

When I printenv I see FOO= and FOO5=

How do I pass the env vars properly? Feels like I'm missing something easy!

{
  "name": "some name",
  
  "hostRequirements": {
    "cpus": 2
  },
     
  "image": "ubuntu:noble",
  
  "containerEnv": {
    "FOO": "${localEnv:FOO}"
  },
  "remoteEnv": {
    "FOO5": "${localEnv:FOO5}"
  },
