Passing Environment Variable to Headless Launch [message #1767440]

Hello,

during my buckminster build I start an eclipse application via buckminsters launch command. In order to run the application properly I need to set some environment variables such as MAVEN_HOME and GRADLE_USER_HOME.

So far I tried to pass the variables like this

launch --launch "org.foo.bar/launcher/${build.name}.launch" --stdout --stderr -DGRADLE_USER_HOME="${build.location.project}/gradle"  -DMAVEN_HOME="${build.location.project}/maven"

Unfortunately, that is not working.

Is there a way to pass environment variables to the launch config or do I have to change the launch config itself? The latter is not my favorite option, because I only need to change the environment variables when I am running the build on the CI Server.

Any help appreciated.

Thank in advance,

Hendrik

In your launch configuration (xxx.launch file), on the "Environment" tab, you can set "Append environment to the native environment" - in fact, I think that's the default.

You should then be able simply to set the environment variables in your shell before running Buckminster. Remember that you need to export var=val so that the environment variable is inherited by the sub-process (Buckminster).
