Issue with Env() on Mac OS and node 8

[eykrehbein]

Have you defined your Env variable in the .bash_profile file or in the terminal? Because I ran into the same issue when I defined it in the terminal on MacOS and node6/8. But when I made a new entry into the ~/.bash_profile file and restarted my terminal it has worked correctly

Is the behavior different if export FOO=bar.com is used?

[eykrehbein]

Yes unfortunately it will be undefined

I have tried a few things, and still have the same problem:
export URL=foo && strest # what I originally tried, doesn't work
URL=foo strest # var inline, doesn't work
put URL=foo in ~/.bash_profile and then ran strest # doesn't work

[shrikster]

can you share your post.yml file ?

[ncuster]

This is a test case that is similar to mine:

foo.strest.yml:

version: 1

requests:
  login:
    url: Env(URL)
    method: GET
    log: true

export URL=https://www.google.com
strest ./foo.strest.yml

Yields the following:
[ Strest ] Found 1 test file(s)
[ Strest ] Schema validation: 1 of 1 file(s) passed

✖ Testing login failed (0.035s)

Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:80

[ Strest ] Failed before finishing all requests

Have you tried to define the ENV variables in your ~/.bash_profile file and then restart your terminal?

[ncuster]

I did try that as well and it still fails.

I suggest this issue is closed.
Even if the root cause is determined, handling specific host environments is not something that should be implemented.

Do we know if this is a Mac OS specific issue, or a node 8 issue? I'll try to test on linux with node 8 and see if I can reproduce.

I haven't had time to look into this any further, and not sure when I'll have time on MacOS again. So following the advice above and closing.
