When changing to a directory whose name starts with the previous directory's name, autoenv is stuck in an infinite loop.

How to reproduce

mkdir a
mkdir ab
cd a
cd ../ab

plugins=(git,autoenv)
Plug horosgrisa/autoenv
antigen-bundle horosgrisa/autoenv

I write this in .zshrc but
.zshrc:46: command not found: Plug
.zshrc:47: command not found: antigen-bundle

zsh --version
zsh 5.0.2 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)

This was working before. Thanks!

For a lot of modern web projects each developer keeps their respective environment variables stored locally, usually in a form of .env.local or .env.*.local.

Each of these files is added to .gitignore to prevent committing stuff such as API keys or other environment variables specific to a project to the repository in a .env, as this file is often added to the filesystem before deployment process commences.

It would be great if the plugin considered sourcing .env.*.local or .env.local before .env to make sure creators of these project can benefit from this plugin while developing their software locally.

Hello,

% cat ~/.env
echo "HOME .env"
% source ~/.zplugin/plugins/horosgrisa---autoenv/autoenv.plugin.zsh
HOME .env
HOME .env

Bash function arguments are passed to the sourced .env and .out scripts. For example:

➜  ~  ls -a test_autoenv
.  ..  .env
➜  ~  cat test_autoenv/.env 
echo "$1"
➜  ~  cd test_autoenv 
/home/nagasaki45/test_autoenv/.env
➜  test_autoenv  

More info about this behavior can be found here

Specifically, it breaks activation and deactivation of conda environments. For example, I have a conda environment named conda_autoenv, which usually activated and deactivated using source activate conda_autoenv and source deactivate. Here is the bug:

➜  ~  ls -a test_autoenv 
.  ..  .env  .out
➜  ~  cat test_autoenv/.env 
source activate conda_autoenv
➜  ~  cat test_autoenv/.out 
source deactivate
➜  ~  cd test_autoenv 
discarding /home/nagasaki45/miniconda3/bin from PATH
prepending /home/nagasaki45/miniconda3/envs/conda_autoenv/bin to PATH
Error: too many arguments.
(conda_autoenv)➜  test_autoenv  cd ..
Error: too many arguments.
(conda_autoenv)➜  ~ 

Notice environment was activated, after all. However, the deactivation failed.

A possible solution I found, based on this answer in stackoverflow, can be found at https://github.com/Nagasaki45/autoenv/tree/better_source. With the proposed solution:

➜  ~  cd test_autoenv
discarding /home/nagasaki45/miniconda3/bin from PATH
prepending /home/nagasaki45/miniconda3/envs/conda_autoenv/bin to PATH
discarding /home/nagasaki45/miniconda3/envs/conda_autoenv/bin from PATH
(conda_autoenv)➜  test_autoenv  which python
/home/nagasaki45/miniconda3/envs/conda_autoenv/bin/python
(conda_autoenv)➜  test_autoenv  cd ..
discarding /home/nagasaki45/miniconda3/envs/conda_autoenv/bin from PATH
➜  ~

There are still issues with this solution, which I'm unable to understand. See the 3rd line after cd to the test_autoenv directory - it looks like the environment is not working as expected. On the other hand working in that envirnment is fine, everything works as expected.

Maybe add a little section in README.md about alternatives, and how this plugin is different.

This is my .env file (similar as the example on README for NodeJS):

nvm use node
OLDPATH=$PATH
export PATH=`pwd`/node_modules/.bin:$PATH

When I enter to the directory I got the error this error:

> WARNING
> This is the first time you are about to source "/tmp/test/.env"

----------------

check_and_run:8: permission denied:

Are you sure you want to allow this? (y/N) y
N/A: version "N/A" is not yet installed.

You need to run "nvm install N/A" to install it before using it.

However, I'm able to source it without problem.

I don't have idea why 😕.

Version: zsh 5.4.2 (x86_64-apple-darwin17.3.0)

When the contents of .in or .out are longer than the current terminal window, bat's pager activates, preventing the user from seeing the prompt. And when the user leaves the pager the code excerpt shown is empty, e.g.:

> WARNING
> This is the first time you are about to source "/tmp/autoenv/.in"

Consider adding -P (i.e. --paging=never) to the bat options:

I use lukechilds/zsh-nvm for lazy loading nvm, if I have nvm use in my .env file, and cd to the directory in a running shell, autoenv works fine. However, if I split my terminal and it opens in the same directory, the point at which the .env file is executed is 'too early', and the nvm alias from the plugin is not yet available.

Hi,

I have several node projects living as sub directories in one directory. I created a .in file in this parent directory to set the PATH.

This setup works fine if I cd from outside of the parent directory into a project directory. But if I navigate within the project directories (which I do quite often), the script is not executed. (Which is the behavior as specified in the README.) But this means I end up with a PATH still pointing to the node_modules of the project where I came from.

Is there a better solution without having to specify an .in file in each project?

Thanks in advance

how to reproduce

case 1

# new shell is ok
cd Documents
# cd never returns

case 2

# new shell is ok
cd /usr
# everything is ok
cd include
# cd never returns

Hint

I have added

• echo "out $_AUTOENV_OLDPATH" on line
• echo "in $_AUTOENV_OLDPATH" on line

and this is what is reported :

in  /usr/
in  /usr//
in  /usr///usr
in  /usr///usr/usr
in  /usr///usr/usr/usr
in  /usr///usr/usr/usr/usr
in  /usr///usr/usr/usr/usr/usr
in  /usr///usr/usr/usr/usr/usr/usr
...

I noticed that this plugin (and probably others in this org) includes a link to the Zsh Plugin Standard at http://zdharma.org/Zsh-100-Commits-Club/Zsh-Plugin-Standard.html. But that URL is defunct now. I found a newer functional URL for the standard at https://z-shell.github.io/zsh-plugin-assessor/Zsh-Plugin-Standard. Note also that it seems the standard has now changed: the recommended 0= definition is more complex now. Just wanted to give you a heads up. See also ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh#10518.

There is already an "autoenv" plugin as part of oh-my-zsh, so the following fails:

git clone https://github.com/horosgrisa/autoenv ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins

The solution I thought of is to rename the project. Maybe there is a better option I'm not aware of, but if not here is my proposition: https://github.com/Nagasaki45/hutoenv/commit/f67ef6b6a0f2d48eae7fc95d7f0ad20ba80ec2cf

I have very simple .in and .out in the same directory.

% cat .in
echo 'autoenv: in'
% cat .out
echo 'autoenv: out'
%

Content of .out never seems to be executed:

~ ❯ zsh -f -d
% source ~/.local/share/zsh/bundle/zpm-zsh/colors/colors.plugin.zsh
% source ~/.local/share/zsh/bundle/zpm-zsh/autoenv/autoenv.plugin.zsh
% cd Sites/foo/

> WARNING
> This is the first time you are about to source "/Users/user/Sites/foo/.in"

----------------

echo 'autoenv: in'
----------------

Are you sure you want to allow this? (y/N) y
autoenv: in
% cd ..

ZSH version is zsh 5.8 (x86_64-apple-darwin19.3.0).
