Issue with variable substitution ($PROJECT_DIR$)

[ashald]

Can you share more details about EnvFile settings you use to reproduce the issue? Namely, is "Substitute env vars is enabled"?

I have the same issue. My settings are

$ cat vars.env
LOCAL_TEST_VARIABLE=$PROJECT_DIR$/something

With EnvFile-3.4.1 this variable get expanded to literally $PROJECT_DIR$/something. With EnvFile-3.2.2 it is correctly expanded to /full/path/to/project/something.

Sure.

The configuration I used is the same for each version (namely 3.2.2, 3.4.0 and 3.4.1) but I have yet to test if this issue is present for other version of intellij (I'm using the community edition, if I have enough time I will try to test with ultimate and another release).

As for the settings I have both Substitute Environment Variables and Process JetBrains path macro reference enable while Ìgnore missing filesandEnable experimental integrationsare disable. Working directory is set to the root directory of the project and in the previous example is/path/to/project(And of courseEnable EnvFile`).

Also while I'm using a gradle project the run configuration is done by intellij. I have confirmed by running some ut that the problem seems to come from the plugin (and further confirmation came from the downgrade to 3.2.2).

We encounter the problem on several different computer.

If you need anymore information feel free to ask, I will look on my side if I can find the issue and will submit a pull request if I can fix it.

Also I want to truly thank you for your works I never had any issue with it for the past 5 years

Edit:
Also I'm using Temurin 11

The problem boils down to the logic here:

EnvFile/modules/platform/src/main/java/net/ashald/envfile/platform/EnvFileEnvironmentVariables.java

Lines 121 to 136 in 6fe1c39

	private String renderValue(String template, @NotNull Map<String, String> context, PathMacroManager macroManager) {
	val postMacro = envFileSettings.isPathMacroSupported()
	? macroManager.expandPath(template)
	: template;
	if (!envFileSettings.isSubstituteEnvVarsEnabled()) {
	return postMacro;
	}
	// resolve taking into account default values
	String stage1 = new StringSubstitutor(context).replace(template);
	// if ${FOO} was not resolved - replace it with empty string as it would've worked in bash
	String stage2 = new StringSubstitutor(key -> context.getOrDefault(key, "")).replace(stage1);
	return stage2;
	}

If there is both Intellij macro substitution and regular env var substition, then the value stored in postMacro is discarded, and only env var substitution is done.

I do not have the expertise to say how the correct logic should look like, but the problem is definitely in that function. Maybe, the line 130 should read

String stage1 = new StringSubstitutor(context).replace(postMacro);

?

I had the same issue with version newer than 3.2.2 that $PROJECT_DIR$ is not recognized so cannot import packages from project folder.
