I used export E2E_USER=username

My plan is to store a username and password as system environment variables and reference them in an Angularjs Protractor config file. I defined the variables in
/etc/environment
. This is what I've tried so far:params: { login: { user: $E2E_USER, pass: $E2E_PASS } }
I also tried this:
params: { login: { user: process.env.E2E_USER, pass: process.env.E2E_PASS } }
Any help would be much appreciated!

jrharshath about 8 yearsMight I clarify:
process.env.E2E_USER
works. Theexport
