I have an issue where the environment setting in a config preset is not used when running ninja.
$ cmake --preset default && touch CMakeLists.txt && (cd build/default; ninja)
Preset environment variables:
MY_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE="Test"
-- MY_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE: Test
-- Configuring done (0.0s)
-- Generating done (0.0s)
-- Build files have been written to: /home/kuka/cmake_env/build/default
[0/1] Re-running CMake...
-- MY_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE:
-- Configuring done (0.0s)
-- Generating done (0.0s)
-- Build files have been written to: /home/kuka/cmake_env/build/default
ninja: no work to do.
I expected that the environment variable is set during the configuration triggered by ninja.
Is this a bug or expected behavior?
See my simple project:
cmake_env.zip (691 Bytes)
Note:
- Setting the variable again in the build preset does not help
- running
cmake --build --preset
default instead of ninja works, but I still think the generated build.ninja should know this.
