Is there any kind of default passthrough of environment variables pant backend passes through (e.g.

$HOME

)?

No, you would have to configure such pass-through depending on the context.

This was a custom plugin I wrote. The executable we use was throwing an error for a coworker saying it couldn't find the

$HOME

variable. Not sure why it wasn't raising an error for me/our CI system.

Your plugin would need to do something like

await Get(Environment, EnvironmentRequest(["HOME"]))

and then pass the result of that to your process invocations.

Yup, that's what I was thinking. Just trying to decide whether I want to dive into it only not working for them 🙈

note that the idiomatic thing for a plugin to do would be to expose a config option that the user can set as needed

Yeah makes sense. I don't think this is really a configurable thing. It's just something the backing executable we use seems to need.

yeah obviously depends on your use case. I agree non-configurable definitely much simpler if it isn't actually needed.
