Description

« Hide

When starting a server (using a run configuration), apparently IDEA isn't passing system environment variables to the spawned process. I've noticed a "Include parent environment variables" checkbox, but apparently this doesn' change anything.

done, rev. 208432 (will be available in the next plugin build)

REM: Idea #8858 doesn't listen state changed events from checkbox "Include parent environment variables". This bug will be fixed in next EAP. Thus to enable "Apply" button in #8858 after selecting/deselecting "Include parent environment variables" you should change any other parameter in Rails Server Run configuration(e.g. type and delete any character in "Server Arguments" textfield)

It works in Windows XP, but not in Vista. The PATH environment variable for the ruby process still comes only up as "c:".

BTW, this "c:;c:" value seems to come from the "Additional Path(s)" field in Ruby on Rails settings panel. I've tried changing this value, but it always returns to "c:;c:" no matter what I type in it.

Are other env. variables (except PATH) being passed to spawned process? It seems it is two different bugs.

Marcus,
I've created issue http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/RUBY-1959 and I'm going to fix it today.

PATH seems to be the only affected variable, so yes, it's probably a different bug. Great to hear you're already working on it.

BTW: is the code being publish at http://svn.jetbrains.org/idea/Trunk/ruby? I've tried checking out the source code yesterday, and it didn't see to be up to date (last commit was from Oct 3rd, and didn't include changes for the 208452 release). Some build instructions would also be appreciated

Marcus,

The code in Subversion is version 1.5 of the plugin for IDEA 7. Version 2.0 of the plugin is no longer open-source.
