Implement autoenv unload about autoenv

[kazagistar]

Simple workaround: place this .env somewhere high in your directory tree (possibly in the root)

if [ -n "$VIRTUAL_ENV" ] ; then
    deactivate
fi

I am sure there are some horrible side effects I am not taking into consideration, but it works for me. <_<

FYI: zsh-autoenv also supports this, either through a separate or the same file (where you can look at a variable to see which event it is).

Yeah, I've considered this for a while, but decided it's out of scope (for now).

Thanks for the suggestions though, I'll definitely consider them in the future.

[kennethreitz]

I'll leave this issue open for discussion.

[honzajavorek]

I like the idea.

I'd love if I can put it in .env with separate parts. Like

[load]
...
...
...

[unload]
...
...

+1. I do see how it qualifies as out of scope, but I'd use an add-on (or completely separate) tool for handling unloading, if it existed.

I do hope you change you mind about this issue, but cool project anyway.

[bryanjos]

Awesome project. I would love to see this one feature added as well.

[blueyed]

FYI: smartcd supports this.

[wangyandongnx]

+1 for the unload feature.

I would suggest documenting the workaround by @kazagistar above somewhere in README. It could be useful for many people

Hi, I'm running into the same issue and found the suggestion by @kazagistar to be very useful. Thanks.

One minor issue of that snippet is it will always run whenever I enter the subfolders, which will unnecessarily deactivate and reactivate the env.
My two cents on the improvement:

recent_env=$(pwd)
while [ "${recent_env}" != "$HOME" ];do
    if [ -f ${recent_env}/.env ];then
        return
    fi
    recent_env=$(dirname "${recent_env}")
done
source deactivate

This will make sure the source deactivate runs only when there are no other .env files along the path except the one on the $HOME.

I recommend just using direnv for this functionality.

Closed as this was implemented in v0.3.0. Sorry for the pings - I know this is an older thread. If you are still using autoenv, free make a new issue for bug reports / unexpected functionality.
