direnv: .envrc a symlink does not throw error
I want to easily switch .envrc (based on environment in my case).
Here is the way to reproduce my issue…
cd $(mktemp -d)
cat << 'EOF' > .envrc--production
export ENV=production
EOF
cat << 'EOF' > .envrc--development
export ENV=development
EOF
ln --symbolic --force .envrc--development .envrc
# direnv: error .envrc is blocked. Run `direnv allow` to approve its content.
direnv allow
echo $ENV
# development
If I want to switch env to production I then run:
ln --symbolic --force .envrc--production .envrc
# (...no error thrown)
echo $ENV
# development (instead of production, ... nothing loaded)
No error is throw and $ENV is still set to development. I still can force it with direnv reload
, but it is ugly.
WDYT, is it a bug or a feature 😃
