Environment Variable

[puneet_m]

I have set an environment variable in my Code-Block project ABC. Now I am trying to read the file in project abc which stores the path with environment variable included in that. Will Code-Block be able to read the file using that environment variable?

Why don't you try it on your own?? :shock:

Instead of asking others for a solution without even touching the problem, give it a try first. You know your requirements better than others.

all processes spawned by cb should respect the environment vars that you set. but I agree with biplab, why don't you experiment with this before posting.

also, this post belongs in help or general, not in development.

I have tried that, but code-Block is not reading it.

Thanks,

be a little more specific about what you are actually doing.

ok ..I have set an environment variable for my Project.
I am setting the variable at Project->Build Options->Custom Variables. Lets say I define a variable REP=C:\\Temp.
Now I am specifying the path of my files to be REP\\src\\base\\tinyxml.cpp
Then when I try to open this file by double click, "it says file not found".

unfortunately, custom variables aren't environment variables, they only exist within cb scope. you need to use the environment variables plugin. set a group of environment vars in settings -> environment -> "environment variables" then activate that set globally with set now or in project scope using project -> properties -> envvar options

I am using the latest version of the code-block and I don't see any of these options in my code-block. So, do I need to install install any other plugin for environment variables?

I thought it was a contrib plugin - have you installed those?
