Subject: using variables from .zshenv in shell scripts
To: Zsh-Users List <zsh-users@zsh.org>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Either something weird is happening or I'm missing something really
basic here. (I blame the cold I've had for 2 weeks.)

I have some variables set in ~/.zshenv which I want to use in shell scripts

However, those variables do not seem to be defined when the shell script runs.

For example, if I have this in ~/.zshenv :

export FOO='BAZ'

and then have a shell script:

#!/bin/zsh

echo "Foo is $FOO"

exit 0

shouldn't it output "Foo is BAZ" ?

Instead, I am getting "Foo is "

I thought that shell scripts would read from ~/.zshenv unless the
first line of the shell script included the '-f' such as "#!/bin/zsh
-f"

is there a 'setopt' that I'm missing here?

TjL

(How have I been writing shell scripts for this long and I'm still not
getting something this basic???)
