I have the shell script where I create a Python file on the fly:
#!/bin/bash
args=("$@")
GIT_PASSWORD=${args[0]}
export $GIT_PASSWORD
python - << EOF
import os
print(os.environ.get("GIT_PASSWORD"))
EOF
echo $GIT_PASSWORD
echo "Back to bash"
I want to be able to access the variable GIT_PASSWORD, but unfortunately, I am not able to pass it to the python file.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong and how I may fix that?
The thing is that you're not actually setting an env variable, you need to change the export:
export GIT_PASSWORD=$GIT_PASSWORD
#!/bin/bash
while getopts 1: flag
do
case "${flag}" in
1) GIT_PASS=${OPTARG};;
esac
done
export GIT_PASSWORD=$GIT_PASS
python - << EOF
import os
print(os.environ.get("GIT_PASSWORD"))
EOF
echo $GIT_PASSWORD
echo "Back to bash"
There's no real reason to use an environment variable at all; a simply command line argument would suffice.
GIT_PASSWORD=$1
python - "$GIT_PASSWORD" << EOF
import sys
print(sys.argv[1])
EOF
echo "Back to bash"
export $GIT_PASSWORDIf the password is ABC, then this becomesexport ABCexport GIT_PASSWORD
