luaenv-vars

This is a plugin for luaenv that lets you set global and project-specific environment variables before spawning Lua processes.

Installation

To install luaenv-vars, clone this repository into your ~/.luaenv/plugins directory. (You'll need a recent version of luaenv that supports plugin bundles.)

$ mkdir -p ~/.luaenv/plugins
$ cd ~/.luaenv/plugins
$ git clone https://github.com/cehoffman/luaenv-vars.git

Usage

Define environment variables in an .luaenv-vars file in your project, one variable per line, in the format VAR=value. For example:

DEBUG=1
S3_BUCKET=mybucket

You can perform variable substitution with the traditional $ syntax. For example, to append to LUA_PATH:

LUA_PATH=$LUA_PATH:/u/shared/rocks/?.lua:/us/shared/rocks/?/init.lua

You may also have conditional variable assignments, such that a variable will only be set if it is not already defined or is blank:

JAVA_OPTS?=-server -Xmx768m -Xms768m -Xmn128m -Xss20m

In the above case, JAVA_OPTS will only be set if $JAVA_OPTS is currently empty (i.e., if [ -z "$JAVA_OPTS" ] is true).

Spaces are allowed in values; quoting is not necessary. Expansion and command substitution are not allowed. Lines beginning with # or any lines not in the format VAR=value will be ignored.

Variables specified in the ~/.luaenv/vars file will be set first. Then variables specified in .luaenv-vars files in any parent directories of the current directory will be set. Variables from the .luaenv-vars file in the current directory are set last.

Use the luaenv vars command to print all environment variables in the order they'll be set.
