Environment Variables

Variables

CodeRoad has a number of configurations:

  • CODEROAD_DISPLAY_RUN_TEST_BUTTON - show the "Run" button on the tutorial page. Defaults true.

  • CODEROAD_DISABLE_RUN_ON_SAVE - stop running tests whenever a file is saved. Defaults false.

  • CODEROAD_TUTORIAL_URL - pass in a url path to a tutorial.json file. The tutorial will launch on startup. This is a way to create one-click tutorial experiences for web or locally. Defaults null.

  • CODEROAD_ADMIN_MODE - a mode for tutorial developers. Under the "Review" page, you can jump around between levels & steps to test development. Defaults false.
