ENV_ variables usage

[martzoukos]

Hello,

thanks for the great work in this tool.
I have a question regarding PR #19, tried to set it up for a project of mine and I have this config set up: https://gist.github.com/martzoukos/1faece5f70e56ee57954d4116fce9bb4
and this .env file on my project's root folder: https://gist.github.com/martzoukos/1659a797ad15ff59d22bdb4f79f15be3

• When I'm running jekyll contentful I get a jekyll 3.2.1 | Error: Contentful::Unauthorized error.
• If I replace the ENV_CONTENTFUL_SPACE_ID and ENV_CONTENTFUL_ACCESS_TOKEN in the config with their values, then the fetch works.
• I have gem 'dotenv-rails' in my gemfile

Is there something I'm missing in this setup?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hey @martzoukos,

dotenv will only work if you use a Rake command (like explained on the Caveats section of the Readme), this is because of how Jekyll itself works with external gems, so sadly that's not something I can help with.

To use it without dotenv, just add to your .bashrc or .bash_profile the following 2 lines:

export CONTENTFUL_ACCESS_TOKEN=abc123
export CONTENTFUL_SPACE_ID=abc123

Else, you can specify them when running the command like follows:

CONTENTFUL_ACCESS_TOKEN=abc123 CONTENTFUL_SPACE_ID=abc123 jekyll contentful

Sorry that Jekyll is so opinionated with some stuff

Hope that helps

Cheers

Hello @dlitvakb

and thanks a lot for the quick reply! :)

That also works so I'll try that.

Thank you.

Any plans to cut a new gem release that would include #19?
