Problem Description

I use agent-tars workspace --init to create a workspace
and then i create a .env file

OPENAI_API_KEY=abcdefg

Myagent-tars.config.ts file is as follows

import { defineConfig } from "@agent-tars/interface";
const config = defineConfig({
  model: {
    provider: "volcengine",
    id: "doubao-1-5-thinking-vision-pro-250428",
    apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY
  },
});

export default config;

But when i run agent-tars, it can correctly load the workspace and model in the config file

But theapiKey in the configuration file cannot be read

@hidaviddong Hey, currently Agent TARS does not support read .env, you can setup env in your shell config (.bashrc or .zshrc).

# .zshrc
export OPENAI_API_KEY=xxx
