using environment vars in run params?

[davecotter]

If i edit the kit to include some environment vars, like this:

see those two vars? OS_NAME_LONG and OS_NAME_SHORT.

now, can i use them in my RUN params, like this?

i would expect so, run env is based on build env. build env is based on kit env, so it should work? but it doesn't. and yes i tried using BuildConfig:Env: and RunConfig:Env: prefixes too, to no avail.

yes, a workaround is to reference the var this way:

%{ActiveProject:BuildConfig:Env:OS_NAME_SHORT}

however THE SOLUTION wold be if Qt Creator were fixed so that this worked:

%{Env:OS_NAME_SHORT}

[davecotter]

really nobody has any idea about this?

[davecotter]

would you EXPECT this to work?

is this a bug?

Do all the other variables get expanded correctly?

[davecotter]

Yes, All of the other variables expand correctly

bump
this is still failing in Qt Creator 6.0.0

Does the fix for this issue work here? https://forum.qt.io/topic/122881/using-environment-vars-in-build-params
