Setting buffer-env-command locally about buffer-env HOT 3 CLOSED

Ah, okay, I'll fix this.

Now, I wanted to ask your opinion. I'm considering adding this defvar to allow handling some script names in a special way.

(defvar buffer-env--commands
  '((t . ">&2 . \"$0\" && env -0")
    (".env" . "set -a && >&2 . \"$0\" && env -0")
    ("guix.scm" . ">&2 guix shell -D -f \"$0\" -- env -0"))
  "Alist of commands used to produce environment variables.
For each entry, the car is possible value of
`buffer-env-script-name' and the cdr is a shell command.  When a
script is found, the corresponding command is executed in a
shell, in the directory of the script, with its absolute file
name as argument.  The command should print a null-separated list
of environment variables, and nothing else, to the standard
output.

The entry t in this alist is a fallback value.")

So in your use-case, you could add (".envrc" . "direnv exec . env -0") to this list. I guess this would help in your use-case, right?

On the other hand, I should ask: why not just put source env/bin/activate in a .envrc file?

I like the idea of the defvar, although I'd probably make it a defcustom since the user can change its value.

No specific reason. I didn't want to rely on direnv on this project because I like the fact that buffer-env does not force me to. :)

Thank you, I confirm it's working as expected now.
