Is there an environment variable where you can specify args bb should always take when invoked? I find myself needing to explicitly provide -.ssl.trustStore=$JAVA_HOME/lib/security/cacerts more and more often for corp infra reasons

looking for something akin to CLJ_JVM_OPTS

Unfortunately not since those properties are parsed by GraalVM native-image before babashka's own logic kicks in. I guess you could write a wrapper bash script to do this.

gotcha, thanks

imre 2026-03-25T13:43:13.704789Z

I wonder if graalvm native-image has something similar

borkdude 2026-03-25T13:43:35.423389Z

you can find all the options via bb --help

Sometimes (like when trying PR build of Instaparse) I want to use bb from the tip of the repo:

The bbg task:

bb {:doc "Manage bb binary [--download <ref> | --use <ref> | --unuse]"
      :task (bb-man/exec! (cli/parse-opts *command-line-args*
                                          bb-man/cli-spec))}
