I've been frustrated with the lack of per-window environment variables. It renders my Go workflow nearly impossible.
In my most recent attempt to fix it, I discovered the init.coffee hook. This runs after each window is loaded. Perfect!
Take a look at my first stab at CoffeeScript to solve my problem:
| fs = require("fs") | |
| path = require("path") | |
| fs.readFile path.join(atom.project.getPath(), ".atom-env"), "utf8", (err, data) -> | |
| if data? | |
| for line in data.split "\n" | |
| if line != "" | |
| pair = line.split "=" | |
| key = pair[0] | |
| value = pair[1] | |
| if value.indexOf "." == 0 | |
| value = path.normalize (path.join atom.project.getPath(), value) | |
| process.env[key] = value |
This reads a file in the project directory and sets the environment. I added a quick hack for resolving relative paths inside the project.
Works like a charm!
