Can we use dotenv for ENV variables? about marco_polo HOT 5 CLOSED

Hey @cloud8421,

I'm not familiar with dotenv_elixir, but I guess you'd want this to deal with the ORIENTDB_USER and ORIENTDB_PASS environment variables needed in tests, right?

(btw, PRs are always welcome 😄)

Yes, that's exactly the reason why :)

@cloud8421 so let me get this straight. We would use a .env file at the root of the repository with something like this in it:

ORIENTDB_USER=root
ORIENTDB_PASS=root

If I'm getting this right, we wouldn't check this into git because those variables can change for each user. This .env file would allow us to do mix test with these env variables setup in the test environment.

Am I correct?

You are. You usually gitignore .env, but commit a .env.example file with
dummy data so that a new user knows what env variables are needed.
