hi ho

@borkdude can I export new env vars using babashka?

well

nvm

not useful for me anyways

@skuro you cannot export env vars from within a process to the next process afaik

the very sense of exporting an env var is to make it visible to sub processes

so if you mean "sibling process" when you say next process then you are right

@skuro right. passing env vars to a subprocess can be done like this:

$ bb '(shell/sh "bb" "-e" "(System/getenv \"FOOBAR\")" :env {"FOOBAR" "123"})'
{:exit 0, :out "\"123\"\n", :err ""}

so here I invoke bb as a sub-process which reads the env var FOOBAR, which I pass from the parent process

❤️

@skuro If you need anything beyond clojure.java.shell you can drop down to ProcessBuilder. e.g. like here: https://github.com/borkdude/babashka.curl/blob/3104d234a63fca71f0d3557c5d3dc23f4fbc294f/src/babashka/curl.clj#L24 ProcessBuilder also accepts env vars.

yep I spotted that

thanks
