running python script in Shell with enviroment_vars

[goffries]

I'm trying to run a python script in Shell and I'm having trouble getting the script to access the environment variables. Is something like this even valid?

{

"type": "shell",

"environment_vars": [

"destinationFolder={{user `scriptTargetPath`}}",

"PersonalAccessToken={{user `PersonalAccessToken`}}"

],

"inline": [

"sudo python /tmp/pythonscript.py"

]

}

Instead of adding sudo in the inline command I would do change the execute_command:

    {

      "type": "shell",

      "environment_vars": [

        "destinationFolder=/tmp",

        "PersonalAccessToken=S3cret"

      ],

      "inline": [

        "python /tmp/pythonscript.py"

      ],

      "execute_command": "sudo -S sh -c '{{ .Vars }} {{ .Path }}'"

    }
