System env var expansion not working
When loading an env var that looks like:
MY_VAR=${AN_ACTUAL_ENV_VAR}
Where the variable AN_ACTUAL_ENV_VAR is part of the system (in my particular case set through .bash_profile) the content of MY_VAR evaluates "" (empty string).
The run dialog in Idea shows the env var (AN_ACTUAL_ENV_VAR) being loaded with the actual content. At first I though it was idea not picking it up, but no.
Is this a know issue (I failed to find a report of it)? Is there a work around?
I'm having the same issue with EnvFile. As a workaround, PyCharm offers a nice copy/paste feature in its native Environment Variables dialog - I copied and pasted the variable values I needed from the "System" list to the "User" list. Somewhat inconvenient, but better than typing by hand.
