Environment Variables are not read by Intellij from ~/.bash_profile (Mac OS)

Question

I defined some Environment Variables in ~/.bash_profile,like

export MVN_REPOSITORY_USERNAME=myself
export MVN_REPOSITORY_PASSWORD=myselfPwd

In my SBT plugin configuration project/plugin.sbt I use:

sys.env.get("MVN_REPOSITORY_USERNAME")

If I load my SBT-Project with IntelliJ, they are not set.

However if I start the SBT-Console of IntelliJ, they are set.

Is there any special configuration needed in IntelliJ?

You are probably better off storing the values in a dedicated (credentials) file and read that from SBT. — cbley, Feb 06 '20 at 14:02

You need to make sure that you source ~/.bash_profile. This is a silly mistake, but an all too common one.

Actually with this SBT Setting it works: intellij-sbt-settings.png
