My dotfiles aren't being generated correctly based on the environment variable I have set. It seems like yadm can't find the value for it. Does anyone know what I'm missing? Here is what I've tried:

$ yadm alt
Creating /home/eric/test from template /home/eric/test##template

$ echo $TEST
hello

$ cat test\#\#template
{% if env.TEST == "hello" %}
hello
{% else %}
bye
{% endif %}

$ cat test
bye

It doesn't look like env variables work in conditions, only in replacement, i.e. {{ env.TEST }} should work (if I'm reading the code correctly).

This answer is correct. Presently the built-in template only supports conditions using the yadm.* variables.
