I’m trying to debug an issue with a setting value on the `ENV` object set in the `environment.js` file but I don’t know how to access the `ENV` object from the console.

I see that `EmberENV` object is available, but the setting I’m looking at is on the `ENV.APP` object.

For example, I’m trying to see the value for the `ENV.APP.mySetting` property below:

```javascript
let ENV = {
  ...
  APP: {
    mySetting: 'someValue'
  }
}

```

What’s the easiest way to see that setting from the console?

I’m curious about this myself; when I wanted to do this last week, I resorted to looking at the `index.html` file and fishing through the confusing serialised form. It works, but it’s subpar.

If that hadn’t worked for me, I’d have imported the configuration into a class file and saved it on `window` 😬

```nohighlight
require('<your apps modulePrefix>/config/environment').default;

```

So assuming you have an app whose `modulePrefix` is `travis` ([😉](https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-web/blob/d675b33e75cc6362b42f27dd77703d54cbe5a887/config/environment.js#L6)) you would do:

```nohighlight
require('travis/config/environment').default

```
