Please describe the feature you have in mind and explain what the current shortcomings are?
Because we are setting HOUDINI_PATH in addon.py, we don't need to set other environment variables like HOUDINI_MENU_PATH and HOUDINI_OTL_PATH
As shown in this screenshot, I can find my AYON menu and BigRoy's HDA in my Houdini session without setting any other environment variables other than HOUDINI_PATH
How would you imagine the implementation of the feature?
As shown in my screenshot above.
Here's the code to copy/paste.
def add_implementation_envs(self, env, _app):
# Add requirements to HOUDINI_PATH
startup_path = os.path.join(HOUDINI_HOST_DIR, "startup")
new_houdini_path = [startup_path]
old_houdini_path = env.get("HOUDINI_PATH") or ""
for path in old_houdini_path.split(os.pathsep):
if not path:
continue
norm_path = os.path.normpath(path)
if norm_path not in new_houdini_path:
new_houdini_path.append(norm_path)
# Add ampersand to keep a reference to the standard Houdini Path contents.
new_houdini_path.append("&")
env["HOUDINI_PATH"] = os.pathsep.join(new_houdini_path)
Are there any labels you wish to add?
[X] I have added the relevant labels to the enhancement request.

Additional context:
I made an issue instead of a PR because it's not a top priority at the moment.
