[Buildbot-devel] $HOME missing in steps' environment

[Dan Kegel]

Oh, my, yes.  When I run buildbot under upstart, just about every
environment variable is missing.

In my wrapper script, I end up doing things like

if test "$LOGNAME" = ""
then
    # Upstart jobs don't set traditional variables.
    BUILDUSER=`id -nu`
    BUILDUSERHOME=`eval echo ~$BUILDUSER`
else
    BUILDUSER=$LOGNAME
    BUILDUSERHOME=$HOME
fi
