Shell Environment

This package allows you to easily grab the login environment for the user even if the current process was launched from a GUI with little or no environment specified. This allows things like rvm to run correctly.

This was originally developed for Atom's Script Runner. Please feel free to suggest changes or improvements. PRs welcome.

Usage

A simple coffee script example:

ShellEnvironment = require 'shell-environment'

ShellEnvironment.loginEnvironment (error, environment) =>
	if environment
		child = ChildProcess.spawn(args[0], args.slice(1), env: environment)
	else
		console.log(error)

Running Tests

First install all dependencies:

npm install

Then run tests:

./node_modules/.bin/vows --spec
