Lua does not get correct HOME path on Windows 11 about nvimdots HOT 4 CLOSED

local home = os.getenv("USERPROFILE")  -- this works for me

Does it works for Window10 too? I'm sorry because I have also upgraded to Windows11 but I use neovim in WSL2 on Windows.

Yes. It also works for Windows 10. (Although not all the plugins are compatible with Windows)

When executing from PowerShell, the default behavior of the lua script

os.getenv("VAR")

seems to be searching in $env: for "VAR", i.e., $env:VAR instead of $VAR/$variable:VAR

Assuming that my home directory is C:\Users\user_name, the values of the mentioned variables are as follows:

$env:HOMEDRIVE  # C:
$env:HOMEPATH  # \Users\user_name
$env:USERPROFILE  # C:\Users\user_name
$env:HOME  # non-exist
$HOME  # C:\Users\user_name
$variable:HOME  # same as $HOME

As a result, os.getenv("HOME") will return nil.

it just a path var,maybe you can setting,or let home = your path string

Thanks, I will fix this.
