Content of environment variable set by another ruby library gets lost

[maxmeyer]

Summary

The [middleman/middleman] project supports "stylus"-templates. This is a javascript library which is bundled into a ruby gem. The gem modifies the content of some nodejs environment variables which are required to be modified so that, "stylus" get be found.

Expected Behavior

The "stylus"-gem should work with aruba.

Current Behavior

The content of the environment variables gets lost because of aruba's isolation mechanism for environment variables.

Possible Solution

Fix the isolation mechanism

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Try to migrate "middleman" to new version of aruba. Some tests will fail. See https://github.com/maxmeyer/middleman/commits/feature/upgrade-aruba-012 for this.

Your Environment

• Version used: latest
• Operating System and version:
• Link to your project: https://github.com/maxmeyer/middleman/commits/feature/upgrade-aruba-012

This might be fixed by #442

I can't reproduce this with the branch given. @maxmeyer can you?

There are commits in 0.12.0 that seem to address this (specifically: bc0f98b), which is confusing since this bug applies to 0.12.0.

I'm really sorry, but I don't have time to dig into code. I can only help with small tasks. I will try to concentrate on documentation and some other more "lightweight" tasks.

Ok, I'll look into this one then.

This may very well be related to #608.

Closing for now as no longer reproducible.
