Environment Variables

I just switched from the python version of assh to the go version. Very nice - I love the switch from ini to yaml. :) A couple questions:

The docs say environment variable expansion is supported, but the following doesn't seem to be expanded:

defaults:
  User: nfarrar
  Port: 22
  IdentityFile: $XDG_DATA_HOME/ssh/default/id_rsa

includes:
- $XDG_DATA_HOME/ssh/**/*.yml

Should this work?

@nfarrar I wanted to refactor the variable expansion by switching from Python to Golang, I probably missed to port this here

I think the one in includes will already works, but the one in IdentityFile won't yet

I will fix that

moul commented

Fixed in git

Can you rebuild assh and retry ?

Ok, 3 things:

  • I still have the problem of assh not expanding env vars
  • go builds are only available untill "v2.9.1"...
  • ...and this version is not even 2.9.1

See below:

$ head -n6 ~/.ssh/assh.yml 
ASSHBinaryPath: /usr/bin/assh

defaults:
  # Defaults are applied to each hosts
  User: $USER
  Port: 22
$ echo $USER
ma-user-naim
$ wget https://github.com/moul/assh/releases/download/v2.9.1/assh_linux_amd64
$ ./assh_linux_amd64 config build
...
  SendEnv TERM=xterm
  User $USER
  ProxyCommand /usr/bin/assh connect --port=%p %h
  # ...
$ ./assh_linux_amd64 --version
assh version 2.8.0+dev (HEAD)
