Shell variables other than 'path' are not copied even though the exec-path-from-shell-variables contains them #72

I have modified the exec-path-from-shell-variables variable to contain two other variables, GOROOT and GOPATH. Here is what I get when I describe the variable:

exec-path-from-shell-variables is a variable defined in ‘exec-path-from-shell.el’.
Its value is ("PATH" "MANPATH" "GOPATH" "GOROOT")
Original value was ("PATH" "MANPATH")

However, when I run M-x getenv RET GOPATH RET and the same with GOROOT, they are not set.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot for the awesome library! <3

Hi! How did you set that variable? Did you call exec-from-path-initialize after setting it? Customising the variable is not enough to ensure this happens.

Hi, Ah, alright. I didn’t know that. I manually set the variable just before calling exec-path-from-shell-initialize and now it works! Thanks a lot for the quick help! <#
