在IntelliJ IDEA Bash脚本中使用环境变量

Question

Goal: to run a bash script as the method for builds/runs, by building a runConfiguration that calls the bash script.

I'm using the BashSupport plugin in the latest version of IntelliJ IDEA. I am trying to reference system environment variables from a shell script that is called from a runConfiguration, but I can't pull in system environment variables, unless I manually specify the environment variables in the runConfiguration's XML, which is not an option. I want to be able to pull variables directly from the system. I have tried putting environment variables in /etc/environment and .bashrc and .zshrc.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

OS: Ubuntu-based

Answer 1

Thank you @CrazyCoder! That was definitely it. Turns out that after a system restart (not just an IntelliJ restart), IntelliJ was able to pick up the variables I put in /etc/environment . Didn't even need to add them to ~/.profile . Thanks for doing the research!

Another solution:

1. Keep your variables in ~/.bashrc
2. Create a Run/Debug Configuration using BashSupport plugin
3. Specify -i in Interpreter options, because if you don't, it will exit ~/.bashrc prematurely

@See .bashrc file

# If not running interactively, don't do anything
case $- in
  *i*) ;;
  *) return;;
esac
#....

It is troublesome to set environment variables from the Edit Configuration of Intelli-J editing. I would like to read it from a file if possible.

So I did it like this.

1. Write environment variables in yaml file.
2. Set the full path of the yaml file to the environment variable of Intell-J's Edit Configuration.
3. Read the yaml file from program.
4. Set environment variables programatically.
