CDS_LOAD_ENV doesn't work

Hi all!

I've set CDS_LOAD_ENV to CWD to load the .cdsenv from my current
directory but it doesn't.
(Of course I checked this with getShellEnvVar("CDS_LOAD_ENV"), which
returns "CWD").

I know it does'nt work by checking which are current settings, e.g.:
envGetVal("layout" "xSnapSpacing")

Only if use envLoadFile("./.cdsenv"), it will load what I set there.
Is there a way to make CDS_LOAD_ENV work?
Do you have any idea why it doesn't?
Is there a way to debug this, and see which .cdsenv was loaded (from
within ICW, since which files are loaded depend on the environment
variables, and you have them all set only starting cadence)?

Thanks a lot for any hint...
cheers,
marco

 

A workaround could be to add envLoadFile("./.cdsenv") to your .cdsinit.

 

Which release?

Most people exhibit what political scientists call "the conservatism of

chance, because you might end up starving to death. Play it safe. Buy
just as much as you need. Don't waste time.

When we think about risk, human beings and corporations realize in their
heads that risks are necessary to grow, to survive. But when it comes
down to keeping good people when the crunch comes, or investing money in
something untried, only the brave reach deep into their pockets and play
the game as it must be played.

sorry forgot to add: my release is IC 6.1.3.500.5.

 

That's strange. It should definitely work. And I just tested the latest
6.1.3 ISR, and it works properly there. And I don't see any recent changes,
so as far as I know it should work in 6.1.3.500.5 as well. I also haven't
found any bug reports saying it doesn't work in 6.1.3.

Unfortuantely, I can't give you any hints on debugging the problem.

 

Could you try with -nocdsinit? IIRC, it is read after the loading of
cdsenv and it can modify the envVars after they are loaded. Library
initialiation (libInit.il) could also have the same effect.
