ASCIINEMA_REC is not set

[Omry Yadan]

Looks like ASCIINEMA_REC is not properly set.
I found that if I run asciinema with this it will be passed to the recoded session:

ASCIINEMA_REC=1 asciinema rec

This seems to disagree with the doc (https://asciinema.org/docs/usage)

asciinema 2.0.2 -- and I see the same issue.

Same issue here on OpenBSD.

[Marcin Kulik]

Fixed via #400. Will be part of the upcoming release.

EDIT: Oops, I assumed that the latest release was more recent since this issue is quite old already, but it looks like the fix was not released yet.

Still happens for me with 2.0.2, on macOS 10.15.7 with zsh 5.7.1.

Indeed, the last release was almost 2 years ago.
