That won't work because tasks you launch like this are being launched directly, forked from the GoCD agent process. When you do this you're setting the env vars for all processes that are launched from this process, but not changing the agent process env itself. If this were allowed, it'd create chaos as an agent can run many jobs.
So it is setting the PATH for the launch environment of the flutter process itself, but that process would have to actually launch which is too late. If you want to change the PATH like that youd need to do so via an intermediary shell (sh -c 'flutter doctor') or use a shell script for all of your steps. That way the path is passed into the shell and then used to find things. But personally I think there are probably better and less coupled ways to manage versions for dev tools than the path that, e.g tools like sdkman or mise where your agent could have pre-installed versions and consuming jobs can use a version controlled config that defines the required versions and then locates them dynamically (using shims or wrapping launchers). -Chad On Tue, 9 Jul 2024, 00:39 Pablo León, <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Jason: > > For testing purposes I have created a single job pipeline: > > [image: Captura de pantalla 2024-07-08 174021.png] > with this single environment variable: > [image: Captura de pantalla 2024-07-08 174219.png] > > and this is the log I get when I run the pipeline: > [image: Captura de pantalla 2024-07-08 174302.png] > > which shows an interesting [Debug information] ... > > If I change the path in > /usr/share/go-agent/wrapper-config/wrapper-properties.conf, then the > pipeline runs fine. > > With respect to changing JAVA_HOME environment variable, I can't make this > work without changing the PATH ... > > [pablo.leon@devel ~]$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk > [pablo.leon@devel ~]$ java -version > openjdk version "21.0.3" 2024-04-16 LTS > > El lunes, 8 de julio de 2024 a las 17:13:14 UTC+2, Jason Smyth escribió: > > Hi Pablo, > > Why do you feel that the PATH variable is not being honoured?
