Missing environment variables (PS1, ...)

[AaronO]

I'm using nodenv with boxen. I have a node application that inspects the PS1 environment variable to see what the current command line prompt is. (It needs to pass this environment variable then to other programs it forks).

However it seems like either nodenv or boxen are removing this variable. All environment variables of the form PS* (where * is a digit) are blocked and not accessible through process.env.PS1.

Any idea of what may be causing this ?

Off the top of my head no, to be honest all I did for nodenv was copy rbenv and change a few bits to work with node instead of ruby, so I'm not that familiar with the inner workings of the code. I'll try and take a look next week when I have some more time

Sorry it's been so long, keep meaning to look at this and never quite getting to it. Have been looking at boxen a bit lately and I noticed that the default nodenv it uses is @wfarr's version. Are you sure you're using my version?

@OiNutter is there a Boxen module for your version of nodenv?

[OiNutter]

@armanm No, it's something that's currently being discussed but I need to do some investigating to see what's required to support precompiled binaries, assuming the library doesn't already. Unfortunately my day job has been crazy busy so my OS stuff is taking a hellish back seat.

As this seems to clearly be an issue with @wfarr's version, can this be closed?
