Using environment variable in the config.toml file

[feekApp]

Hi,

I was trying to implement a user name independent config file using $HOME in the :

[General]
    ...
    SnippetFile = "$HOME/.config/pet/snippet.toml" 
    ...

But this results in the error: snippet file not found. $HOME/.config/pet/snippet.toml, so it seems like I'am not allowed to use environment variables inside the config file. When using the full path for SnippetFile everything is working as expected.

A'm I right you can not use environment variables in the config file, of is this a bug. Or do you have any suggestions to make a user independent configuration.

You're in luck - less than a week ago we merged a PR that supports relative paths 😄

You can't use environment variables in the values, but you can use relative paths. So in this case, just do SnippetFile = "~/.config/pet/snippet.toml" and it should work! Lmk

Great @RamiAwar , that's working,

But now how do I prevent adding a new snippet using pet new "command --ooption" in each snippet in `snippet.toml the following item is added:

Filename = "/Users/UserName/.config/pet/snippet.toml"

So now it is not user name independent anymore.

I actually think this filename attribute is useless. I need to double check but I created an issue some weeks ago to remove it.

sorry my mistake, the full path was inserted by my previous settings without ~.... but why are all these Filename items inserted, because they are pointing to itself..
