Use as environment

[mindhaq]

I would like to use the env created by the plugin as an environment inside the gradle script, which is a Map<String,?>.

Currently, I don't see a way to do that.

@mindhaq Sorry for the rate reply.

Which one do you mean that is like a type-safe environment variable, or nested variable?

For example in the case of the former, I think that solves by a type definition file support. (However, conventional dotenv has no concept of type safety.)

[mindhaq]

My use case is to put all dotenv properties into the build environment. Currently, I do it manually like this:

environment.set("MARIADB_HOST", env.MARIADB_HOST.value)
environment.set("MARIADB_PORT", env.MARIADB_PORT.value)
....

But I'd like to just do

environment.putAll(env.allEntries)

[uzzu]

environment.putAll(env.allEntries)

I could support to get all environment variables contains dotenv files provided, and it returns Map<String, String> though.
I'll try.

Thank you, I finally upgraded the plugin and allVariables works like a charm!

@mindhaq Can you please share a usage snippet of your build.gradle ?

@ankit-jha

From my build.gradle.kts:

fun readDotEnv(environment: MutableMap<String, Any>) {
    environment.putAll(env.allVariables)
}

tasks.getByName<BootRun>("bootRun") {
    readDotEnv(environment)
}

task<Test>("integrationTest") {
    readDotEnv(environment)
    // ....
}

This allows me to configure environment variables in a .env file.

Thanks @mindhaq

I ended up doing this in my build.gradle

bootRun {
	File env_file = new File(".env")
	if(env_file.exists())
	{
		environment.putAll(env.allVariables)
	}
}

I still need to refactor this into a separate function so that other tasks can use it.
