Request for temporary environment variables

Hi, thanks for the plugin! It’s quickly become a treasured component of my Neovim config.

One extra feature I’d appreciate is specifying per-command environment variables. Here’s an example where that would be useful: https://github.com/ezyang/expecttest. This library allows you to specify a unit test without explicitly knowing the right hand side of the test. Then, if a particular environmental variable is turned on, the test runner itself overwrites the file to fill in the RHS based on the current output. This is very useful for numerically heavy projects, e.g. in ML. It would be useful to have a separate command that

1. sets up an environmental variable
2. runs an ultest command
3. removes the env variable whether or not the command was successfully completed

Thank you, it works perfectly now. 😃 Very useful functionality.

Yes that’s correct, which is what is wanted. The issue has to do with how the remote plugin call was being made (originally async and so couldn’t make a synchronous call). I’ve adjusted to be synchronous, so please try now
