Environment variables that I define in a shell config files (.bashrc .zshenv) are returning nil value in REPL run by clojure or clj script. The 'built-in' env vars like SHELL are returning correct values.
e.g. I defined CLJ_WATSON_NVD_API_KEY in the .zshenv file, source the file and echo shows its value. Running clojure to start a repl and (System/getenv "SHELL") returns the full path of the current shell, but (System/getenv "CLJ_WATSON_NVD_API_KEY") returns nil
If I pass the environment variable at the start of the clojure command, then I can see the correct value, e.g.
CLJ_WATSON_NVD_API_KEY=$CLJ_WATSON_NVD_API_KEY clojureclojure and clj scripts (or the way the JVM is run) that would prevent my own environment variables from being accessed correctly (or am I simply missing something laughcry ).
I am sure I used to be able to do this last year 🤷♀️

but i can see some
(System/getenv "JARS") works for me. in my .zshrc i have export JARS=~/projects/work/jars.

That sounds like you don't have the autoexport zsh setting turned on

I tried on a different laptop and env vars are returning okay, so a shell issue sounds the most likely. I'll check for the autoexport zsh setting (and compare configs across laptops) Thanks for helping me narrow down the cause.
