Hyprland's exec launches applications without zshrc loaded, causing missing environment variables

Already reported ? *

[X] I have searched the existing open and closed issues.

I found this issue: https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/7963, but there was no solution and I do source zshrc through the SDDM wrapper script. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

Regression?

Description

I define my environment variables in ~/.zshrc. When I launch applications through Hyprland with exec=, the application will not get the environment variables. I noticed this when running vscode with the rust-analyzer extension: this requires RUSTUP_HOME to be defined, but it wasn't. When I run vscode through a terminal, it works fine.

I launch Hyprland through SDDM. I'm using a wrapper script in order to try to fix the issue, but it didn't help:

/usr/share/wayland-sessions/hyprland-custom.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Hyprland-wrapper
Comment=An intelligent dynamic tiling Wayland compositor
Exec=/home/zjeffer/.config/hypr/run.sh
Type=Application

/usr/share/wayland-sessions/hyprland-custom.desktop:

cat .config/hypr/run.sh                                
#!/bin/zsh
source /home/zjeffer/.zshrc
Hyprland

Strangely,

bind = $mainMod, U, exec, zsh -c 'RUSTUP_HOME="asdf" notify-send "test: $RUSTUP_HOME"

will send a notification containing test:, and

bind = $mainMod, U, exec, zsh -c 'export RUSTUP_HOME="asdf" && notify-send "test: $RUSTUP_HOME"

will send a notification containing test: asdf.

But for some reason, zsh -c 'source ~/.zshrc && notify-send "test: $RUSTUP_HOME" doesn't show 'asdf'.

I also tried to launch my applications with a launch script that first sources zshrc:

cat .config/hypr/launch_app.sh

#!/bin/zsh
source ~/.zshrc
"$@" &

so I could then launch it through Hyprland using exec, zsh -c '$HYPR_FOLDER/launch_app.sh "code"', but that also doesn't help.

How can I ensure Hyprland launches applications through my zsh shell, including the environment variables declared in ~/.zshrc? I could also define all my variables using env =, but that would mean duplicating every single environment variable I have. Maintaining that is a pain.

How to reproduce

For example:

bind = SUPER, J, exec, env > /tmp/hyprland_env.txt

The /tmp/hyprland_env.txt file will not contain the environment variables defined in ~/.zshrc.
