ENV_ variables usage about jekyll-contentful-data-import

[dlitvakb]

Hey @martzoukos,

dotenv will only work if you use a Rake command (like explained on the Caveats section of the Readme), this is because of how Jekyll itself works with external gems, so sadly that's not something I can help with.

To use it without dotenv, just add to your .bashrc or .bash_profile the following 2 lines:

export CONTENTFUL_ACCESS_TOKEN=abc123
export CONTENTFUL_SPACE_ID=abc123

Else, you can specify them when running the command like follows:

CONTENTFUL_ACCESS_TOKEN=abc123 CONTENTFUL_SPACE_ID=abc123 jekyll contentful

Sorry that Jekyll is so opinionated with some stuff

Hope that helps

Cheers

Hello @dlitvakb

and thanks a lot for the quick reply! :)

That also works so I'll try that.

Thank you.

Any plans to cut a new gem release that would include #19?
