require and Coffeescript

[karellm]

require('dotenv')() compiles to require('dotenv') in coffeescript, causing the following error:

dotenv.load();
       ^
TypeError: Object function dotenv() {
  dotenv = {
    version: package_json.version,
    environment: process.env.NODE_ENV || "development",

    _loadEnv: function() {
      return dotenv._setKeysAndValuesFromEnvFilePath(".env");
    },
    _loadEnvDotEnvironment: function() {
      return dotenv._setKeysAndValuesFromEnvFilePath(".env."+dotenv.environment);
    },
    _setKeysAndValuesFromEnvFilePath: function(filepath) {
      try {
        var data        = fs.readFileSync(filepath);
        var content     = data.toString().trim();
        var lines       = content.split('\n');

        for (var i=0; i<lines.length; i++) {
          var key_value_array = lines[i].split("=");
          var key             = key_value_array[0].trim();
          var value           = key_value_array[1].trim();

          if (value.charAt(0) === '"' && value.charAt(value.length-1) == '"') {
            value               = value.replace(/\\n/gm, "\n");
          }

          value               = value.replace(/['"]/gm, '');

          process.env[key]    = value;
        }
      } catch (e) {
      }

      return true;
    },
    load: function() {
      dotenv._loadEnvDotEnvironment();
      dotenv._loadEnv();

      return true;
    },
  };

  return dotenv;
} has no method 'load'

A quick workaround is to wrap it using backtick to use raw javascript. Couldn't you just remove the need for the trailing()` ?

I'm using dotenv with CoffeeScript and getting it to compile correctly.

dotenv = require('dotenv')()
dotenv.load()

Compiled:

var dotenv;

dotenv = require('dotenv')();

dotenv.load();

@karellm can you paste your coffeescript version in here:

coffee --version

I'm at 1.6.3

Hi @karellm, I'm closing this having tested on my own side. If you continue to run into the error, just post your coffee script version and I'll re-open. Hope it got working for you!

Hi @scottmotte,

Sorry for the late answer and trouble. I may have made a mistake somewhere because it is compiling just fine with coffeescript 1.6.3.

Thanks for the great support!
