WSLENV Environment Variable Flags Unsupported #56

Closed sskeirik closed 5 years ago

sskeirik commented 5 years ago

According to https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2017/12/22/share-environment-vars-between-wsl-and-windows/, when setting WSLENV, one can append each variable with flags that configure how the variable is shared. This includes the specifier /u which restricts the environment variable flow from Windows to WSL (which I think makes sense for this use case). Adding such a modifier causes the WSLENV variable check to fail.

Versions: tested on wslgit master on Windows 10 build 17134.345.

Good find, thanks for reporting. Yes, the WSLENV check should allow for such modifiers.

This should be fixed with the latest changes from #78. You can download an alpha build for testing here: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/andy-5/wslgit/build/artifacts
