Environment variables from rc file are not available in command run and skip run

:wrench: Summary

We use an environment variable based tool stack. So it should be possible to skip specific lefthook commands by configure an environment variable, e.q. SOME_CHECK_ENABLED. We read about rc: in docs and found our use case:

Or if you want to use ENV variables that control the executables behaviour in lefthook.yml

Furthermore, based on the consumption that rc: exports all environment variables from an .env file, it should be possible to use skip from docs to skip a command like:

commands:
  some:check:
    skip:
      - run: test "${SOME_CHECK_ENABLED}" = "false"
    run: ...

I hope my explanations are sufficient. I am grateful for any advice.

Lefthook version

1.8.4

Steps to reproduce

.env

SOME_CHECK_ENABLED=false
SOME_OTHER_CHECK_ENABLED=false

lefthook.rc

. .env

We also test

. "$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)/.env"

We had to use "$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)/.env" in later mentioned command some-other:check instead of relative . .env to get this working.

and

export SOME_CHECK_ENABLED=false
export SOME_OTHER_CHECK_ENABLED=false

That always should work.

lefthook.yaml

skip_output:
  - meta
  - success
  - skips

min_version: 1.8.4

rc: ./lefthook.rc

some-framework:
  commands:
    some:check:
      skip:
        - run: test "${SOME_CHECK_ENABLED}" = "false"
      run: 'echo SOME_CHECK_ENABLED: enabled'

    some-other:check:
      skip:
        - run: |
            . "$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)/.env"
            test "${SOME_OTHER_CHECK_ENABLED}" = "false"
      run: 'echo SOME_OTHER_CHECK_ENABLED: enabled'

We also tried rc: <some_absolute_path>/lefthook.rc

lefthook install --force && lefthook --verbose run some-framework

Expected results

The environment variable SOME_CHECK_ENABLED processed in rc file lefthook.rc should be available in command's some:check skip run to made the skip test.

Furthermore, the command's some:check run should also aware of these environment variables.

Change command some:check run to run: env for a test.

lefthook install --force && lefthook --verbose run some-framework | grep SOME_CHECK_ENABLED

Actual results

The environment variable SOME_CHECK_ENABLED is not available, the skip test fails and the command some:check will be executed.

Possible Solution

Less a solution, more a workaround.

Source . "$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)/.env" in skip run every time.

    some-other:check:
      skip:
        - run: |
            . "$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)/.env"
            test "${SOME_OTHER_CHECK_ENABLED}" = "false"
      run: 'echo SOME_OTHER_CHECK_ENABLED: enabled'
