Using .env parameters inside Procfile #152

Closed miguelcjalmeida closed 6 years ago

miguelcjalmeida commented 6 years ago

Hello!

I am trying to use foreman for the first time and I have tried to use one of my parameters from .env file inside the Procfile, but I didn't succeeded. Maybe I am not allowed to do it, if that is the case I will find a better way to achieve what I need.

My .env file looks like this: NODECMD=node-dev

My Procfile looks like this: web: $NODECMD bin/server.js

Thanks for any attention to this matter =)

This appears correct.

Is node-env a shell alias or function by chance? If so it won't work since the procs are run in sub-shells.
