I was looking through the docs and some GitHub issues, but still wasn't able to find a clear answer to this. I did attempt to use the namespace name in `new Config()` as well, but it seemed to be looking in the correct one originally as well :thinking_face:

Hi Olga, welcome!
Every config value is prefixed with a namespace. The default namespace is the same as you project name. So, `new Config` looks for config values named `dotnettestservice:foo`. You should either
a) Change you `yaml` files to contain settings called `dotnettestservice:environment`
b) Leave the config files as-is and change your code to `var config = new Config("app"); config.Require("environment");`

You can use the Pulumi CLI to set config values. `pulumi config set environment test` will automatically add the project name to the YAML file. Give it a try.

:woman-facepalming:  That makes so much sense. I definitely misinterpreted the documentation. It worked :smile:

THANK YOU!

I feel like it’s a common misunderstanding. We should probably improve our docs. Feel free to fire an issue if you see a part that’s particularly confusing.
For sure, don’t feel bad about yourself!
