Unable to change the content folder by overriding the LRR_DATA_DIRECTORY environment variable

[GauSyu]

LRR Version and OS
LANraragi v.0.8.90
Mac OS 13.5.1 on Apple Silicon

Bug Details
I have overrided the LRR_DATA_DIRECTORY environment variable in my zsh profile. But when I start LRR by the command 'lanraragi', its content folder is still he default one. I have checked the env list.

Matching Logs
env list:
...
LRR_DATA_DIRECTOR=/Volumes/Videos/3
...

what I see after 'lanraragi:

Data Directory      is set to '/Users/gausyu/Library/Application Support/LANraragi/content'
Thumbnail Directory is set to '/Users/gausyu/Library/Application Support/LANraragi/content/thumb'
Database Directory  is set to '/Users/gausyu/Library/Application Support/LANraragi/database'
Log Directory       is set to '/Users/gausyu/Library/Logs/LANraragi'
Temporary Folder    is set to '/Users/gausyu/Library/Application Support/LANraragi/temp'

> [email protected] start
> perl ./script/launcher.pl -f ./script/lanraragi

Server PID will be at /Users/gausyu/Library/Application Support/LANraragi/temp/server.pid

Well, I'm seeing your env list says LRR_DATA_DIRECTOR=/Volumes/Videos/3 -- Is that just an error you made while retyping it for the issue?

[GauSyu]

I changed the LRR_DATA_DIRECTORY environment variable to /Volumes/Videos/3. And the env list verifies that. However, the LANraragi still set Data Directory to its default path.

[Difegue]

Not sure what's going wrong tbh, the brew executable is fairly dumb and shouldn't set the default if the variable already exists:

LANraragi/tools/build/homebrew/lanraragi

Line 22 in 0397d25

export LRR_DATA_DIRECTORY="${_LRR_DATA_DIRECTORY}"

I suppose you could modify the brew script manually and insert your path in there case the env var isn't cooperating?

[cazendium]

I was able to update it by going:
export LRR_DATA_DIRECTORY=/Volumes/Content then lanraragi

[cazendium]

Update: I was able to permanently set my default path to something else on Mac OS (Apple Silicon). Previously I was using export LRR_DATA_DIRECTORY=/Volumes/Content before lanraragi everytime. Now it's just lanraragi.

Saving environmental variables in Zsh Terminal, I used:
echo 'export LRR_DATA_DIRECTORY=/Volumes/Content' >> ~/.shenv

You can confirm if it's saved there by opening the .shenv file with TextEdit.
