Improve error for required env vars with alt name

Open wfernandes opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

If we have a prefix called "env_config" and the following struct tags for property "Foo", we should expect to see an error message stating that the required env var "ENV_CONFIG_BAR" is missing and not just "BAR" since that is the env var being looked up.

type Spec struct {
  Foo string `envconfig:"bar" required:"true"`
}
