Wiki error?

Wiki
1

@JMichaelTX - I think there’s a couple of errors on this Wiki page.

I think the following should be changed:

  • ENVPATH --> ENV_PATH
  • ENVPERL5LIB --> ENV_PERL5LIB

I’d change it myself, but I wanted to run it by you first. What do you think?

Thanks.

Dan, you may be right, but I don't know for sure.
I have not touched this section of the Troubleshooting page.
I think we need either @peternlewis or @ccstone to weigh in on this.

From that section:

As of Keyboard Maestro 7, you can set your PATH and other environment variables (such as PERL5LIB) using the Keyboard Maestro variable ENVPATH (or ENVPERL5LIB or whatever).

Hey Guys,

Test it for yourself.

Set Keyboard Maestro variable “ENVPATH” to:

/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

Then run:

echo $PATH

From an Execute a Shell Script action, and display the result in a window.

In case you were on pins and needles about this the answer is – it does NOT work.

The correct syntax is: ENV_PATH.

The troubleshooting page SOURCE is correct:

“As of Keyboard Maestro 7, you can set your PATH and other environment variables (such as PERL5LIB) using the Keyboard Maestro variable ENV_PATH (or ENV_PERL5LIB or whatever).”

But the wiki is rendering the text between the underscores as italic.

I have fixed this on the troubleshooting page.

Yes, as Chris notes, the issue is that two underscores act as italics indicators on the wiki (just like two asterisks do in Markdown). Thanks all.
