mattcasters opened a new pull request, #7942:
URL: https://github.com/apache/hop/pull/7942
## What
Adds a bundled `hop-misc-setup` plugin so new Hop users can move
configuration out of the install tree.
- **GUI:** Tools → Configure Hop environment… (Variables + Location tabs),
Welcome topic, first-start prompt
- **CLI:** `hop setup` / `hop setup show` / `hop setup apply`
- Writes `HOP_CONFIG_FOLDER`, `HOP_AUDIT_FOLDER`, `HOP_JAVA_HOME`,
`HOP_OPTIONS`, and `HOP_SHARED_JDBC_FOLDERS` to:
- Windows user environment (PowerShell, not setx)
- bash/zsh rc file (idempotent marked block)
- well-known `hop-env.sh` / `hop-env.cmd`
- Launchers source that hop-env file so desktop restarts pick up the folders
- Optional copy of `<install>/config` when the new config folder is empty
- Hop Web only previews a script (does not write the server OS environment)
Recommended folders: `~/.local/share/hop` + `~/.local/state/hop`
(Linux/macOS, honors XDG), `%USERPROFILE%\.hop\config` + `audit` (Windows).
Existing defaults stay `./config` and `./audit`. Install fallbacks in `Const`
are unchanged.
## Why
https://github.com/apache/hop/issues/7940
Without these variables Hop stores config and audit next to the install,
which is lost on upgrade. The same friction showed up when documenting
first-run setup (#7931).
## How to test
1. From a Hop install: `./hop setup apply --defaults --dry-run`
2. In Hop Gui: Tools → Configure Hop environment… — Variables tab, Location
tab, Preview, Apply
3. Restart Hop and confirm `HOP_CONFIG_FOLDER` is used (About dialog /
config path)
4. Confirm launchers source `~/.config/hop/hop-env.sh` (or
`%USERPROFILE%\.hop\hop-env.cmd`)
Fixes #7940
