1.4.3424: EnvironmentFile should recognize "%p" Specifier

See original GitHub issue

My app.service file contains the following:

Environment=JAVA_OPTIONS=-Xmx4000m
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/%p

/etc/default/app contains

JAVA_OPTIONS=-Xmx2222m

However EnvironmentFile is not loaded and service starts with default -Xmx4000m parameter.

With hard-coded file name EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/app works properly.

Please support some basic Specifiers (at least %p), as per specification. Thanks!

I have created a testcase “make real_3270” which shows the special variable expansion of the installed systemd systemctl. In comparison the “make test_3270” using systemctl3.py show some differences. That’s where the real bugs are.

I just don’t have time to work on it now (develop branch).

Please check also the 1.5.x branch which is now in master. The expansion of special variables has changed considerably and %p specifier should not be an issue anymore.
