Layer environment variables are not added to XML spec

[larsbijl]

Describe the bug
The XML spec allows for env variables to be set on a layer. They are not propagated to cuebot.

To Reproduce
Create a simple submission with an env variable set to the layer.

Check the layer_env. Nothing.

@larsbijl @bcipriano I want to contribute to this issue !!

[larsbijl]

hey @pcube99,

Feel free to contribute :)

[pcube99]

can you elaborate what I am supposed to do ?

[larsbijl]

Hey @pcube99,

when you create a submission using pyoutline you can add environment variables to an outline using the set_env. this is written into the XML specification here and consumed here

When you look at the Database the table layer_env remains empty. it should hold the environment variables given to it.

The problem could be in the section above in pyoutline or in cuebot when it creates the job.

@pcube99 Thank you for the offer, it's much appreciated :)

Lars's comment should get you started but let us know if you have any questions. https://www.opencue.io/contributing/ has some good resources (I'm working on a Mac and Linux version of the Getting Started guide which should be ready soon).
