Add a test to verify server's environment is passed to spawned process
chipsenkbeil opened this issue · comments
It's unclear if this happens. I'd like to test something like printing the $HOME directory because today that environment variable either gets evaluated locally with distant spawn or just gets printed verbatim as $HOME.
I want to make sure that spawn actually supports feeding in the current environment variables. If it does, this is an issue with the client capturing and sending over the environment variables.
As discussed in rust-lang/rust#95400, none of the variable substitution happens because this is not run in a shell. With the addition of --cmd for spawn, you can now do: distant spawn -c 'sh -c "echo $PATH"' to do variable substitution.
Won't actually write a test. Manual check good for me.
