luarc.json: Environment variables inside of workspace.library paths?

[b0o]

It it possible to use environment variables inside workspace.library paths in .luarc.json? I don't want to hard-code paths for my local machine. I couldn't find any documentation about this.

All paths support using $ENV_VAR.

Line 945 in cb964c6

elseif key:sub(1, 4) == "env:" then

According to the lua_ls codes, I think it can be:

example:

"workspace.library": [ "${env:HOME}/path/to/lib", "${env:VIMRUNTIME}" ]

(I couldn't find any documentation about this either)

This syntax seems borrowed the idea from vscode variable substitution: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/variables-reference#_environment-variables

(And you're right that there should be better documentation on luals side 🙈 )
