Unable to use `[env:key=value]` directive with 8.0.100 #37686

xt0rted · 2023-12-29T10:24:26Z

Describe the bug

In versions of the sdk prior to 8.0.100 I was able to pass env vars by doing dotnet watch [env:DOTNET_WATCH_RESTART_ON_RUDE_EDIT=true] ... but after updating to 8.0.100 I now get the following error:

dotnet watch [env:DOTNET_WATCH_RESTART_ON_RUDE_EDIT=true] --verbose --project sample

Unrecognized command or argument '[env:DOTNET_WATCH_RESTART_ON_RUDE_EDIT=true]'.

To Reproduce

Clone this repo https://github.com/xt0rted/heroicons-tag-helper/tree/fb2943296bcc0ac35b7b3689a6be74415a8ef8ba

Run the following

npm ci
dotnet tool restore
dotnet r watch

The site should load
Stop watching
Update the global.json to use 8.0.100
Try to run dotnet r watch again and you should get the above error

You can skip the dotnet tool bit and run dotnet watch directly, happens either way.

Exceptions (if any)

Details

Unrecognized command or argument '[env:DOTNET_WATCH_RESTART_ON_RUDE_EDIT=true]'.

Description:

Environment variables:

DOTNET_USE_POLLING_FILE_WATCHER
When set to '1' or 'true', dotnet-watch will poll the file system for
changes. This is required for some file systems, such as network shares,
Docker mounted volumes, and other virtual file systems.

DOTNET_WATCH
dotnet-watch sets this variable to '1' on all child processes launched.

DOTNET_WATCH_ITERATION
dotnet-watch sets this variable to '1' and increments by one each time
a file is changed and the command is restarted.

DOTNET_WATCH_SUPPRESS_EMOJIS
When set to '1' or 'true', dotnet-watch will not show emojis in the
console output.

Remarks:
The special option '--' is used to delimit the end of the options and
the beginning of arguments that will be passed to the child dotnet process.

For example: dotnet watch -- --verbose run

Even though '--verbose' is an option dotnet-watch supports, the use of '--'
indicates that '--verbose' should be treated instead as an argument for
dotnet-run.

Examples:
dotnet watch run
dotnet watch test

Usage:
dotnet-watch [...] [options]

--no-launch-profile Do not attempt to use launchSettings.json to configure the application.
-f, --framework The target framework to run for. The target framework must also be specified in the project file.
--property Properties to be passed to MSBuild.
--list Lists all discovered files without starting the watcher.

Further technical details

Include the output of dotnet --info

@jonsequitur did the env var directive get removed/obsoleted from S.CL? If so we may consider adding it back ourselves.

@xt0rted are you able to use shell-specific env-var setting techniques to workaround this?

xt0rted · 2024-01-08T17:24:02Z

@baronfel I've been using the cli with another dotnet tool which also uses System.CommandLine (the most recent nuget version, not the DevOps feed like this repo is using) and that also has support for the env directive. So in some cases I was able to move the parameters around and have it still work. Depending on how I'm calling dotnet ... the only option is a shell specific way but I've avoided that for now because of how verbose it is over my current scripts.

When I was working on my tools I found I always had to opt-in to this directive like so:

var parser = new CommandLineBuilder(rootCommand)
    .UseEnvironmentVariableDirective()
    // ...
    ;

I've looked through the v7 sdk code and couldn't find where that was happening so I'm not sure how the cli used to wire this up.

With the latest version of System.CommandLine it looks to be wired up slightly different now by including new EnvironmentVariablesDirective() in Parser.cs.

Good spot! I've added it back in #37827, we'll get it approved and merged.

marcpopMSFT · 2024-01-12T22:08:21Z

Approved and merged for release in Feb. Closing.

I just updated to 8.0.200 and I'm still unable to run dotnet watch [env:DOTNET_WATCH_RESTART_ON_RUDE_EDIT=true] --verbose like I can in v7 and lower. Unless I'm mistaken this update was included in this release.

Here's the full output for a .net 7 web app using both the 7.0.406 and 8.0.200 sdks.
