Summary
The Devbox launcher invokes the Devbox binary with
DEVBOX_LATEST_VERSION
env-varbeing set. The Devbox binary uses this env-var to determine if a new version is
available, and if it needs to alert the user to update.
This env-var was never intended to be "exported" to the rest of the environment.
However,
devbox shellenv
was doing so.This becomes problematic if a user does
eval $(devbox global shellenv)
intheir shellrc file, and has done
devbox global add coreutils
. Then, doingls
or
cat <file>
, or using any of the coreutils programs seems to triggeran avalanche of "new Devbox available" notices.
Fix:
this PR filters out
DEVBOX_LATEST_VERSION
from the environment that shellenvexports.
