Steps to reproduce

.vscode/launch.json‘s setting below:

        {
            "name": "SplitPackageWeb",
            "type": "coreclr",
            "request": "launch",
            "preLaunchTask": "buildWebHost",
            // If you have changed target frameworks, make sure to update the program path.
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/aspnet-core/src/SplitPackage.Web.Host/bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.1/SplitPackage.Web.Host.dll",
            "args": [],
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/aspnet-core/src/SplitPackage.Web.Host",
            "stopAtEntry": false,
            "launchBrowser": {
                "enabled": true
            },
            "env": {
                "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development",
                "ASPNETCORE_URLS": "http://+:8070",
                "ConsulConfig__IsRegister": "false"
            },
            "sourceFileMap": {
                "/Views": "${workspaceFolder}/Views"
            }
        }

my host project Properties/launchSettings.json‘s setting below:

{
  "iisSettings": {
    "windowsAuthentication": false,
    "anonymousAuthentication": true,
    "iisExpress": {
      "applicationUrl": "http://localhost:8070/",
      "sslPort": 0
    }
  },
  "profiles": {
    "IIS Express": {
      "commandName": "IISExpress",
      "launchUrl": "http://localhost:8070",
      "environmentVariables": {
        "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development",
        "ConnectionStrings__Default": "Server=127.0.0.1; port=3307; Database=SplitPackageDb; uid=root; pwd=root; Convert Zero Datetime=True"
      }
    },
    "SplitPackage.Web.Host_local": {
      "commandName": "Project",
      "environmentVariables": {
        "ASPNETCORE_URLS": "http://+:8070",
        "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development",
        "ConnectionStrings__Default": "Server=127.0.0.1; port=3307; Database=SplitPackageDb; uid=root; pwd=root; Convert Zero Datetime=True"
      }
    },
    "IIS Express_Test": {
      "commandName": "IISExpress",
      "launchUrl": "http://localhost:8070",
      "environmentVariables": {
        "ConnectionStrings__Default": "Server=192.168.1.230; port=3306; Database=SplitPackageDb; uid=root; pwd=Qjkj2018; Convert Zero Datetime=True",
        "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Test"
      }
    },
    "SplitPackage.Web.Host_Test": {
      "commandName": "Project",
      "environmentVariables": {
        "ConnectionStrings__Default": "Server=192.168.1.230; port=3306; Database=SplitPackageDb; uid=root; pwd=Qjkj2018; Convert Zero Datetime=True",
        "ASPNETCORE_URLS": "http://+:8070",
        "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Test"
      }
    }
  }
}

Expected behavior

Project uses environment variables to change application configuration.when I start debug app, I hope the Properties/launchSettings.json setting can’t not be use, because my colleagues use multiple configurations to distinguish between local and test environments on VS2017. there are two project setting in the profiles node. I can ignore Properties/launchSettings.json setting or Specify which configuration to use?

Actual behavior

Properties/launchSettings.json’s node SplitPackage.Web.Host_local is applied.

Is this in the pipeline, or is there some other approach that might resolve the following?

Working together where some are using VS and others VSCode, we have our local run options defined via various profiles in Properties/launchSettings.json. Debugging in VS has the option of picking one of the profiles via a dropdown. When running via dotnet run I can supply the --launch-profile parameter specifying the profile in launchSettings.json that I want to use - or leave it out and go with the top one. Debugging in VSCode, however, I’d assumed that I could add the --launch-profile as args in launch.json - which does not work, it just always picks the top one.

I’m really missing the ability to be able to specificy --launch-profile for a launch.json configuration, or being presented with a profile picker (similar to command:PickProcess).

Any news on this? My team is a mixed environment when some people use VS 2019 and others use VSCode + devcontainers, which requires differences in some environment variables. Having the ability to ignore launchSettings.json files in VSCode would help a lot
