1475 fix home envvar

[richardm90]

Changes

This PR relates to issue #1475.

I have modified CompileTools.ts so that it no longer sets the HOME variable, which goes on to set the PASE HOME environment variable. I have also added a new variable called WORKDIR, as a replacement for HOME.

In doing so the HOME variable is no longer available for use in actions.

IMPORTANT Is there a way to advise users that their actions will need updating?

I have also added another new variable called FILEDIR that gives you the remote directory that the file exists. This is extremely useful when you have multiple Makefiles in your project. You can have an action command such as cd &FILEDIR && /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/gmake.

I have also updated the varinfo.ts and appropriate locale files with the action variable description changes. I used Google Translate on the French and Danish versions so if someone could check these that would be useful.

Checklist

• have tested my change
• updated relevant documentation
• Remove any/all console.logs I added

Let's keep &FILEDIR for sure, but let's also keep both &WORKDIR plus &HOME for compatibility reasons.

When you have added &HOME back in (you don't need to add it back to the variable list UI) then I will review again.

Hey @worksofliam was my update OK?

[worksofliam]

@richardm90 Sorry for leaving this for so long. We had a big release and we also had to solve a big bug - I've also added &WORKDIR in #1703 - sorry for the duplicate efforts, but that change was larger and solve a very big bad bug.

I think this PR should now be used to add &FILEDIR as that is incredibly useful as you described. You're welcome to update this PR or create a new one. Sorry for the trouble.

@worksofliam , took me a little while as I was getting a problem when testing which must have been sorted in a recent commit as pulling down the latest has resolved my problem. I've updated the PR as suggested.

[worksofliam]

@richardm90 I am sorry - every time I come around to look at this there are new conflicts. Any chance you can fix those and I can get another review in?

[richardm90]

@richardm90 , no problem, I'll get to it this week along with the comments you left on the other pr
