Hi, Why on earth is Dub sending out this error message (Invalid variable: DUB) = on GitLab but not on Travis-CI or locally? OK, that was slightly rhetorical, more reasonably, why is dub sending out t= his message at all? --=20 Russel. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk

It should contain the path to the Dub executable. I guess that somehow fails. Might be some unexpected character in the path? -- /Jacob Carlborg

"Additional" implies that they are not the only variables that can be used in hooks, and that the variables listed previously (such as $DUB) can also be used. If this is not the case, then the documentation is inaccurate and should be updated. I would also add: if you feel the need to link to the source code to explain to use a feature, rather than referring to the documentation, that is a good sign that the documentation is inadequate.
