Update to 10.0.0 breaks existing env-cmd npm scripts

Hi,

I am using env-cmd in versin 9.0.3 and greenkeeper just got me the update in. I tried it out and the command just fail with sh: line 1: 4041 Terminated: 15. I checked the changelogs but cannot find any breaking change affecting me, since I use vanilla NodeJS 12.8.1.

An example command as I have it in my package.json: env-cmd cross-env DEBUG=false KNEX_SEED_DIR=./seeds/resetdb knex seed:run

I need to use the default .env file within my system and then override some env vars with cross-env. I would guess something about parsing this line has changed.

Maybe you can help me either “rewrite” the script so that I actually do not need both env-cmd and cross-env, or we find the bug breaking my script in the latest update.

Thanks!

Ah gotcha, that would be a pain then. The other solution is an .env-cmdrc file with multiple environments. If you cannot use a .rc file then you are out of luck at this time.

With a .rc file you could create one environment called shared with common environment vars, then three other environments for each of those other scripts. Then something like env-cmd -e shared,environment1 .... That way you get the benefit of shared env vars and overriding/merging of the environments together.

Glad to hear it is working. Sorry about the breakage! I had forgotten to run it through my env-cmd-examples repo before releasing 🤦‍♂

The new version works! Thanks 💯

Regarding my problem: I see what you mean, but I have several scripts and each of them would require a special env file then:

"db-seed": "env-cmd cross-env DEBUG=false KNEX_SEED_DIR=./seeds/base knex seed:run",
    "db-testseeds": "env-cmd cross-env DEBUG=false KNEX_SEED_DIR=./seeds/test knex seed:run",
    "db-reset": "env-cmd cross-env DEBUG=false KNEX_SEED_DIR=./seeds/resetdb knex seed:run",

And in production my env vars cme from the k8s cluster. So I do not even have env-cmd there any more.

Thanks a lot for this package, we really love it https://retraced.co/ And thanks for the quick update 👍
