dsanderbi opened a new issue, #8495:
URL: https://github.com/apache/hop/issues/8495
### Apache Hop version?
2.19
### Java version?
21
### Operating system
macOS
### What happened?
When defining the *Home folder* by a variable (${variable}) the variable is
not resolved by hop.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Export an environment variable in the shell: `export
PROJECT_HOME_PATH=/path/to/project`
<img width="463" height="156" alt="Image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/90263d56-b654-44f9-9f28-10370ef37c39";
/>
2. Open hop and create a new project
<img width="1047" height="450" alt="Image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b280a88e-f0ea-40f2-8441-0467f4910b82";
/>
3. Add variable to Home folder
Since the Home folder shows the variable icon I would expect that the
variable gets resolved and the hop-config.json would show/use
```json
{
"projectName" : "etl-prozess",
"projectHome" : "${PROJECT_HOME_PATH}",
"configFilename" : "project-config.json",
"readOnly" : false,
"group" : null,
"tags" : [ ],
"tagsAsDisplayString" : ""
}
```
It seems that hop is not able to read/access exported variables, this means
that the first three variable icons are misleading since non of them can use a
exported variable
<img width="1021" height="171" alt="Image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d75a5204-3b83-4ba6-bbdc-9cb659e31d1e";
/>
