Netlify Dev: process.env missing variables from netlify.toml [dev] block

[oles]

- Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?
Seems like this is a bug. If it is not, this is a feature I'd like.
It also seems like many other people are looking for this, based on my random searches to find a solution.

- What is the current behavior?
Currently, if your netlify.toml file contains

...

[dev]
    environment = { NODE_ENV = "development" }

...

all the variables specified has seemingly no effect - not only the NODE_ENV key.

- If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

• clone https://github.com/oles/netlify-dev-missing-env
• run netlify dev
• open http://localhost:8888/.netlify/functions/example-function
• see in console: NODE_ENV: undefined

- What is the expected behavior?
For the console to log NODE_ENV: development

I have this issue as well, the [build.environment] section in the netlify.toml file is completely ignored using netlify dev which, at least for us, obliterates the value of using the Netlify CLI. We're forced to have another copy of the vars in a .env file due to the number of env vars we use which just causes pains when forgetting to change both.

[build.environment]
  NARF="zonk"

yarn netlify dev:exec env | grep zonk

yarn netlify dev -c env | grep zonk

Neither command seems to pull from the netlify.toml file.

Is this expected behavior? What's the value of netlify dev if it doesn't use the [build.environment]?

Thanks for adding this information @jonathan-mothership, we are working on aligning this logic between the CLI and Netlify build system. See netlify/build#2040

Hi @oles and @jonathan-mothership! This should be fixed via #1722 and available in the latest version of the CLI.

If something isn't working as expected, feel free to reopen the issue. Thanks!
